Alyzia Kastri
Alyzia Kastri submitted by KaiHofmann : Closer view of the Herakles and Aphrodite relief. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Remains of the ancient hillfort of Alyzia (500 BCE). The main feature is a relief of Heracles and Aphrodite. A second relief of Heracles should be at a large stone gate at the western part of the hillfort, but I couldn't find it there anymore.

On Photos of the early 2000s I found the stone with the relief of Heracles so it has probably been stolen! Another smaller stone gate can be seen in the north-western part of the fort. Large remains of a wall and a large cistern are still visible.

Note: Stone with relief of Heracles missing, presumed stolen

Alyzia Kastri, many illicit excavations and stolen stones by KaiHofmann on Thursday, 04 July 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
The site is very interesting because of the very old and unique relief of Heracles and Aphrodite. There were many illicit excavations on this site and one stone with a relief of Heracles at the large (3-4m tall) north-western gate was stolen. Nobody seems to care about it's a bit of a forgotten place. There is an old drawing of this site here which shows the relief.
