About Apliki

5 km North-East of Palaichori Oreinis and is at an altitude of 720 meters above sea level. Apliki is located west of the small “Maroullenas” river, which flows into the river of Akaki. It is exactly in the south and east of the settlement, where first the stream of Apliki flows into the river of “Maroullenas” and then the stream of Kampi flows into the same river. Apliki was a copper mining region dating from the late 14th Century BC. Excavations show it to have been a smelter site, built on rocky terraces.

Four houses were excavated, with rich findings, including an ivory cylinder, a cylinder seal of steatite and a gold earring.
