A Neolithic settlement from around 4800 BC, with concentric stone walls and Mycenaean-era beehive tombs.
The Dimini site lies about 5 km west of Volos. It is a Neolithic settlement from roughly 4800 to 4500 BC. Its most distinctive feature is the multiple concentric stone walls encircling the hill and the central square, which show how early communities organized their space. Nearby are two Mycenaean-era tholos tombs, and some scholars associate the site with the legendary city of Iolcos. Admission is about 3 euros. It is often visited together with the Sesklo site.
