    The two-chamber tomb is carved in a vertical, natural rock. They are two rectangular cavities, next to each other, 1,20x 0,60 in dimension and 1 meter in depth. According to the morphological elements, the tomb dates to the Hellenistic period, (3rd-2ndcentury B.C.). The visitor, in order to reach the settlement, has to follow the path from the Old Kardamyli towards the area of Agia Sopfia. We shall point out that the entrance to the interior of the tombs is forbidden.

    According to the description of Strabo, the tombs belong to the twin brothers Castor and Pollux, mythical children of Leda, (queen of Sparta), and Zeus. According to another legend, the tombs belong to the heroes Nikomachos and Gorgasos, sons of Machaon, (son of Asclepius), who had healing abilities.
