Olbia de Provence, Greek archaeological site in Hyères, France
The archaeological remains include ancient fortifications, streets with sewers, sidewalks, public baths, sanctuaries, and multiple housing blocks divided into residences and shops.
Greek colonists from Marseille established this fortified settlement around 325 BC to secure maritime trade routes along the Mediterranean coastline.
The excavated artifacts, including ceramics, coins, and inscriptions, demonstrate the integration of Greek traditions with local practices in this Mediterranean trading center.
The site opens from April through October, with guided tours available in English and French, and costs 4 euros for adults while children under 18 enter free.
The layout preserves the complete structure of a Greek colonial fortress network, featuring a medieval abbey Saint-Pierre de l'Almanarre within its boundaries.
