Agios Athanasios site, Ithaki, Archaeological palace site in northern Ithaki, Greece.
The Agios Athanasios site features extensive stone terraces connected by ancient stairwells on the eastern slopes of Mount Exoghi in northern Ithaki.
Archaeological excavations since 1994 by the University of Ioannina revealed significant Mycenaean architectural structures and an underground prehistoric fountain similar to those at Mycenae.
The remnants of this substantial complex indicate an administrative center that maintained connections with other Mycenaean settlements through trade and architectural similarities.
The archaeological findings from this location are displayed in two separate museums: the Cross Museum and the Vathi Museum of Ithaki.
An underground water tank at the site demonstrates advanced engineering methods through its corbelling technique, matching the construction standards of major Mycenaean centers.
