Discover the historical town of Aptera:

At the Aptera excavation site, you can marvel at artifacts spanning all eras of this City-State’s existence. The ancient city’s walls, which extend for 3.480 meters, hark back to its zenith, in the 4th century BC.

The theater was constructed during the Roman era. Remains of a villa featuring a peristyle courtyard, from the initial years of Roman control, adhered to Hellenistic architectural guidelines. Intriguingly tall Roman reservoirs and sections of both public and private bathing facilities.

Edifices from the Byzantine Period. The panorama from this location is simply awe-inspiring!
