Log Text: On a whim, we turned off the highway when we saw a sign, and then we kept following signs until we arrived. An interesting combination of the tomb and the wind turbines beyond it, I was impressed by the local sense of ownership. In addition to access and a place to park there was a low table for picnics complete with a flower arrangement.

Log Text: The site is generally covered in unmowed grasses which makes for some small difficulty walking with uneven ground and loose stones underfoot. There is a very obvious oval on high ground (the acropolis?) with a wall, much broken, on it southern border. At the north border, you overlook the valley where the famous battle against the Persians took place At this northern point someone has set a modern column and a small metal shrine (which is empty).
The much better defined wall of larger, more intact stoves, on a NW - SE line, south of the oval described above. It crosses the main road east of the modern town, and is marked there with the typical "Archaeological Site" brown and yellow sign. This wall is very large and shows several towers in the fortification. I'm uncertain if this separate wall dates from the 5th Century BC, or is a later addition, perhaps when Phillip of Macedon is credited with refounding the previously destroyed city.
