Ancient Settlement in Crete
The site of Elyros is a minor ruin, but the very interesting feature is the adjacent conical "pyramid" tomb carved from solid rock just to its northeast.
The tomb is very unusual due to its plain conical shape, and it is fairly spectacular being located on a high ridge overlooking the sea. As nearly as I can determine the conical tomb is located at or very close to 35.288429, 23.797453.
