Agia Irini, Bronze Age archaeological site in Vourkari, Greece
The settlement extends across a seaside location with remnants of fortified walls, ancient temple structures, and residential buildings from prehistoric times.
The inhabitants established their first settlement during the late Neolithic Age around 3300 BC, developing strong connections with continental Greece through maritime trade.
Excavations at Agia Irini revealed marble statues called Kores, depicting female figures in long garments, along with ceramic vessels indicating advanced crafting skills.
The archaeological site maintains restricted access, permitting entry exclusively to authorized archaeologists while general visitors observe from outside a protective fence.
Several clay ovens and the Depous amfikypellon, a distinctive tall vessel with two handles, demonstrate the technological capabilities of this Bronze Age community.
