Overview

Learn about the ancient city of Aptera:

At the archaeological site of Aptera, you will be able to admire findings of all periods of inhabitation of this City-State. The walls of the ancient city, which is 3.480 meters long, dating back to its acne period, of the 4th century BC.

The theatre belongs to the Roman phase. Ruins of a villa with peristyle yard, of the early years of Roman rule built on the standards of the Hellenistic period. Unexpectedly high Roman cisterns and parts of public and private baths.

Buildings of the Byzantine Period. The view from there is absolutely breathtaking!
