Description

Looking across an excavated area of rough, eroded ground with stone wall remains running through the middle distance. A small recessed opening with a block-built step sits in the centre foreground, and a long wall face runs along the right. Beyond, a broad flat cleared surface leads toward a low stone wall and a dark expanse at the far edge.

Description, scan 2
Excavated ruins at Vouni seen from above: broken stone walls rise on the left, and a stone-lined recess with a low step opens in the centre. A broad, flat cleared surface runs diagonally across the picture, with a small heap of rubble near its far edge. A low stone wall follows the edge at the upper right, with the sea beyond.
