Acropolis of Agios Andreas
Ακρόπολη Αγίου Ανδρέα
A Mycenaean-era hilltop acropolis with a ring wall and gates, plus a small archaeological exhibit next door.
The Acropolis of Agios Andreas sits on a hilltop south of Apollonia. It was a fortified settlement from the Mycenaean period in the 13th century BCE and remained in use into the Geometric period. It still preserves a circular wall, gates, tower foundations and house remains. Beside the Church of Agios Andreas on the summit is an archaeological exhibit displaying excavated pottery. From the top you can overlook Platis Gialos and the southern coast. Opening hours are seasonal, and it is often closed on Mondays.
