On the
north-western shore of Rhodes, close to
the promontory of Agios Minas (the ancient
Mylantio) lies the third and smallest of
the island’s ancient cities –
Kamiros.
When the settlement of classical times
was leveled by an earthquake in 226 BC,
the city was re-built in line with the Hippodamean
system, on three levels.
On the lowest of these stood the Hellenistic
temple, the Doric fountain and the perivolos
of the altars.
On the middle level stood the main part
of the city, and at the top of the hill
was the acropolis with the temple of Athena
and the Stoa.
