A private, expert-led walk through the ruins of Poliochni — a settlement older than Troy — with an archaeologist who can actually explain what you're looking at.
What to expect
You're driven across the island to the east coast, to a site most cruise passengers never hear about — pre-dating Troy by centuries and considered the oldest urban settlement in Europe. Your guide walks the stone foundations of houses, a council hall, and grain stores, explaining how this Bronze Age town organized itself long before Athens existed. It's usually near-empty, so questions and pace are entirely yours.
Good to know
Site has minimal shade — bring water and a hat. Best combined with a stop at a nearby taverna in Kontias village on the way back.
