Archeological Sections excavated in order to check out if there are any findings. The plot is in the center of Peiraius port.
In the 5th century b.c. it was well known as the most famous all over the world. Athenians were using this to rule the Aegean sea, the west cost of Anatolia (known then as Ionians) and establish their trading all over the mediterranean sea.
