KASTANOCHORI (Village) MEGALOPOLI
MAKARIE (Ancient city) MEGALOPOLI
Makareai: Eth. Makarhieus. A town of Arcadia, in the district Parrhasia, 22 stadia
from Megalopolis, on the road to Phigaleia, and 2 stadia from the Alpheius. It
was in ruins in the time of Pausanias, as its inhabitants had been removed to
Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter.
KRITEAS (Ancient city) MEGALOPOLI
Locality on the road from Isoma to Ano Karyes, E of Mt. Lykaion. The
peribolos of a settlement, a small thesauros or cistern (3 x 2 m), and a temple
have been identified with Kretea and a Sanctuary of Apollo Parrhasios located
in its neighborhood (Paus. 8.38.2-8). On the remains of the archaic temple a later
building was erected, which survived in poor condition. The finds include fragments
of Geometric vases and iron and bronze objects, and are in the National Museum
at Athens.
