TRINASSOS (Ancient city) GYTHIO
Trinasos, Trinassos. A town or rather fortress of Laconia, situated
upon a promontory near the head of the Laconian gulf, and 30 stadia above Gythium.
It is opposite to three small rocks, which gave their name to the place. The modern
village is for the same reason still called Trinisa (Ta Trinesa). There are considerable
remains of the ancient walls. The place was built in a semi-circular form, and
was not more than 400 or 500 yards in circuit.
