LET'S GO FOR A WALK TO VOIDOKILIA AND DIVARI
Spread the word
The Pame Volta group is organising an excursion to the Arched-Shaped Tomb in Voidokilia and the Cave of Nestor on Sunday, October 19th, at 10:00.
Spyridonas Marinatos carried out the first systematic excavation of the Mycenaean Tholotos Tomb in Voidokilia (1680-1060 BC) in the 1950s. The excavator believed that it was the funerary monument of Thrasymedes, son of the mythical king Nestor, whom Pausanias also mentions in his travels.
The so-called Cave of Nestor is located on the northern side of the Koryphasio peninsula. It consists of two antechambers and a central hall. The cave was used systematically during the Neolithic period (6th-4th millennium BC), less intensively during the Early Helladic period and again systematically from the end of the Middle Helladic and during the Mycenaean period. The cave's inhabitants possibly practised agricultural and livestock farming and storage practices, without excluding its use as a sheepfold.
