Aventuras a Pie (de Página)On today’s adventure, we’ll visit the remains of the Roman mansion of Katounistra (or Flisbos), a massive 2nd-century structure that boasted a bath complex, a swimming pool, and a huge courtyard.

There are many archaeological sites that are not indicated in any way, neither on signs, nor on maps, nor in official information; sometimes it is necessary to investigate a lot and to wander around and explore in person and all that is a lot of work.
