Cemetery of Ancient Thera

Cultural Attraction // Archeological Site

Description

Part of the cemetery of Ancient Thera stretched along the northern slopes of the Sellada, the mountain pass that connects the hill of the Prophet Elias with Mesa Vouno. A winding cobblestone road crossed the cemetery, connecting the city with its northern seaport, Oia (present-day Kamari). The excavations of N. Zapheiropoulos (1961 - 1982) revealed the road and numerous tombs from various periods in the city's history.
