Description

A wide view across the Mersinaki excavation, with a raised earth heap on the left and low stone walls running across the middle ground. Cultivated fields and scrub stretch towards the coast on the right, where the sea lies beyond a line of bushes. Rocky hills rise on the left, with a few trees scattered on their lower slopes.
