The Dimini site has the remains of a 5th millennium BCE Neolithic settlement on a hill surrounded by periboloi enclosures. South West of the Neolithic settlement a large 25 acres Mycenaean settlement dating to the 15-12th centuries BCE has also been discovered, which has been identified as ancient Iolkos, the city of Jason. A well-constructed wide road with "Megaroid" houses were built with the same orientation on either side of a wide street have been excavated. There is also a Mycenaean tholos tomb nearby. Excavations in the Neolithic settlement started at the beginning of the 20th century CE and are still in process.
