Aventuras a Pie (de Página)New Plevron is an impressive but rather unknown archaeological site in Greece.
It is a Hellenistic walled city, very well preserved, from 234 AC, built on a plateau at 200m altitude with spectacular views.
We visited its walls, its theater, its cisterns, its agora and a little of its history.

The Cave of the Seal is one of the purest and most pristine places in Corinth and has remained unknown for years due to its difficulty of access.
You can get there by boat or by a dirt road and descend 100 meters.
The cave has one hidden sandy beach, to which you can only access by walking in the water.
What makes this place special, besides the 20-meter arch is that the beach inside the cave never has direct sunlight.
Of the fortification, 80m of the eastern wall survive, which includes 2 towers and 230m of the southern wall, which includes 6 towers and several of the staircases. In addition, the southeastern gate, which is preserved intact and is 2.10m wide, reached our days. It is located in a recess and the lintel was built with stone blocks 3m long.
There is an inscription on the exterior wall, to the north of the surviving gate.
The inscription says: ΔΑΜΟΣΙΟΝ ΤΟ ΧΩΡΙΟΝ ΠΕΝΤΕ ΠΟΔΕΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΤΕΙΧΕΟΣ which could be translated as: PUBLIC ACCESS FROM 5 FEET OF THE WALL.
And it established the width of the restricted area outside the wall that had to remain free for defensive uses.
This was so that if the city were under attack, the attackers would not jump to the wall from the roofs of the neighboring houses built outside…
This inscription is believed to be from 325-300 BC.
