Skarkos

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:53:24

Crowning a low hill in a picturesque plain just outside Hora, this Early to Late Bronze Age settlement has restored walled terraces and the low ruins of several Cycladic-style buildings for you to explore. A small visitor centre and interpretation boards in Greek and English clue you in to what you’re looking at.

If driving, take the signed turnoff between Ormos and Hora. To walk, follow the traditional stone footpath from the back of Hora, passing goats and farmhouses. (You will feel lost more than once but fear not.) The lovely walk takes around 15 minutes.
