Guide tour of Agios Kosmas, 9/8/2013

Attention people in Kythera!
 

I'm going to guide a tour of Agios Kosmas and the 2010/2011 archaeological dig site at Paliokastro late today afternoon (17.30)

This is where Kythera's ancient capital is buried (a much earlier equivalent of Chora today), operating from before 500BC, to at least 50AD.

Agios Kosmas is a a church built around 720 years ago, using a lot of materials - including columns, from a 2600 year old temple which it's built on top of, or was located closely nearby.

I'm getting the keys to open the church, don't miss out.
