550 Ancient Greek Places+ 10th Edition

This is an ever-growing list of ancient Greek places, where ruins are visible from the air. In almost every case, at least something of the Greek presence is visible, but occasionally not. This list spans the Minoan and Mycenaean periods up to the end of the Hellenistic age. No Roman places are represented. Also included are the sites of various contemporary cultures which were moderately to heavily Hellenized, such as the Lycians, Carians, and Pisidians.

Welcome apollonius, glad you found us here, many old gec members are here, so I hope you feel at home.

Thank you!

This list was at one time officially featured google content, but then the group it was located in was archived.

I like this forum so far, it's much like the first google Earth community, only this one does not show you your KMZ downloads. Oh well!

I am already starting to work on making this 600 places.
