Entrance to Acropolis

View looking west at the road that leads into the acropolis from the southeast. The tower on the right (east) was built in the Hellenistic Period – in the third century B.C. Note the fine fitting stones of local andesite. Compare the building of the Hellenistic walls and towers of Assos.
