M	Marten Mehle (reiseberichtewomo) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Einmalig schöner Ausblick. Meistens ist man hier alleine. Ausgrabungen der Akropolis von Didimokastro auch bekannt unter dem "antiken Elina", einer Kolonie des alten Korinth aus dem 4.Jhd. vor Christi. Einst soll sie die größte Siedlung in dieser Region mit 4000 - 6000 Einwohnern gewesen sein. Das alte Dorf befindet sich im Westen von Perdika auf einem Kalkstein-Berg über dem Meer. Unterhalb des Berges erstreckt sich in nördlicher Richtung der bekannte Badestrand von Karavostasi. Die alte Siedlung ist komplett von einer Mauer umgeben und erstreckt sich über das gesamte Plateau des Berges. Ursprünglich wurde die Mauer durch sieben o. acht rechteckige Türme verstärkt. Eine alte Straße führte von der Ebene zu einem Tor auf der östlichen Seite. Ein weiteres Tor befand sich in der südwestlichen Ecke und führte in Richtung Meer. Es gibt viele Fundamente, Mauerreste, Treppen und eine alte Straße, teilweise erst vor wenigen Jahren durch Archäologen freigelegt, zusehen. Zusätzlich immer wieder tolle Ausblicke in das Hinterland, über das ionische Meer und den Strand von Karavostasi. Uniquely beautiful view. Mostly you are alone here. Excavations of the Acropolis of Didimokastro also known under the "ancient Elina", a colony of ancient Corinth from the 4th century. before Christ. Once it was supposed to have been the largest settlement in this region with 4000 - 6000 inhabitants. The old village is located west of Perdika on a limestone mountain above the sea. Below the mountain stretches to the north of the famous beach of Karavostasi. The old settlement is completely surrounded by a wall and extends over the entire plateau of the mountain. Originally, the wall was reinforced by seven or eight rectangular towers. An old road led from the plain to a gate on the eastern side. Another gate was in the southwestern corner and led to the sea. There are many foundations, remains of walls, stairs and an old street, some only a few years ago exposed by archaeologists to watch. In addition, always great views of the hinterland, the Ionian Sea and the beach of Karavostasi.
И	Игорь Тхир on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Я не знаю хто ставить погані оцінки цьому місцю і за що, від мене 5 так як це місце покорило моє серце, і це найкращий захід сонця який я бачив. Приїхали на авто майже до самих руїн, дорога чудова, пройтись потрбіно було по грунтовій дорозі 400-500 м, спеціально приїхали подивитись на захід сонця були там близько 20:30 (але перевірте по тому часу коли ви там будете), дуже гарні краєвиди і вид на захід сонця були з дитиною 4х років яка всю дорогу пройшла сама, тому якщо ви ваш маршрут пролягає поряд і ви хочете провести вечір в романтичній обстановці на одинці з природою і горними видами це місце саме для вас. I don't know who puts bad marks on this place and for what, from me 5 since this place has won my heart and it is the best sunset I have seen. Arrived by car almost to the ruins, the road is great, it was necessary to walk on a dirt road 400-500 m, specially came to watch the sunset were there around 20:30 (but check by the time you are there), very beautiful views and sunset views were with a 4 year old child who went all the way by herself, so if you have your route nearby and you want to spend the evening in a romantic setting alone with nature and mountain views this is the place for you.

I	Ionut Stoica on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ strange place, great view
A	Alberto Rosotto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Again, very nice view of the sea coast; the site offers peaceful atmosphere but please don’t climb that dangerous path only to see ancient Greece’ ruins, you will be disappointed!
s	spyridoula ntani on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a place you don’t want to miss if you happen to travel in the area. You can simply get there by going uphill from Karavostasi beach. It will take about 30 minutes to reach the top of the hill to discover an amazing view and traces of an ancient settlement. Apparently, there was a densely populated settlement, flourished during the 3rd and 2nd centuries B.C. before it was destroyed by the Romans. Just wander around following the path defined by the remaining of the walls (about a mile walk), devour the view to the Ionian Sea. You can clearly see Corfu, Paxos and Antipaxos Islands, Syvota. A great battle (Battle of Syvota) took place there in 433 B.C. between Corcyra (Corfu) allied with Athens and Corinth, sparking the Peloponnesian War. In the winter, the plane trees cross the valley like a snake. Above the valley on the top of the hill hovers village Perdika.
S	Sue Chadwick on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worth the effort. The site appears to be neglected. The path to the top is dangerous and exhausting. You will need sticks, sturdy boots and good balance, it took me 40 minutes to climb to the top. The views are fantastic
T	TomLenas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Listen, going to that place is very challenging! Don't drive your car to the top, the road is awful. If you really want to see the place and you have the strength, you can follow the trekking path to the top. There are two iron gates at the path you have to open to proceed. Be careful because it will be a very tough trek (see the photos I attached). When you reach the archaeological site, the view will be stunning but you will barely find any information about the site and the buildings (remains to be honest). Now, for the descent, you can either be brave and return from the same path you came from, or just go to the road and take a long walk down. Last but not least, you had better take water, food, a stick, and a lot of photographs!
