Ancient Kamiros is a historical site located in the town of Sálakos, Greece. It is an ancient city that dates back to the 5th century BC and was one of the three major cities on the island of Rhodes. The city was built on a hillside overlooking the sea and was strategically placed for trade and defense.
The ruins of Ancient Kamiros are well-preserved and offer visitors a glimpse into the past. The city was designed with a grid-like layout, and the remains of houses, public buildings, and streets can still be seen today. The city was known for its advanced water system, which included a network of underground pipes that brought water from nearby springs to the city.
One of the most impressive structures in Ancient Kamiros is the Doric Temple, which was dedicated to Athena Kameiras. The temple was built in the 3rd century BC and is one of the best-preserved examples of ancient Greek architecture. Visitors can also see the remains of the Agora, the city's central marketplace, and the Stoa, a covered walkway that was used for public gatherings.
Ancient Kamiros is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Greek history and architecture. The site is easily accessible by car or bus from nearby towns and cities. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water, as the site can be quite hot and dusty during the summer months.
