Our Location

History of the area

Sea La Vue is in the area called Moutsouna. Moutsouna is a plateau-like and triangular-shaped ridge overhanging the coastal plain Tou Yalou to Khorafi and the sandy beaches of Lefkos and Frangolimionas. It dominates the whole extent to the west and surveys the open sea.

The area has been reported in literature for its archaeological and historical findings. People’s presence and agricultural activity is reported from the Minoan , Hellenistic and Roman periods. Up today, by walking the area, someone can find parts of Minoan pottery, mostly fragments of conical ceramic cups.

About four hundred metres east and above Moutsouna site, at the south-western edge of a rocky plateau there is an abundance of ancient architectural remains associated with much Roman pottery. The area there is called Pelekito. The rock-cut rooms open to the sky resemble Roman military installations, probably granaries, rather than tombs. There are also many traces of ancient stone quarries in the vicinity. A short distance to the south-west, at the foot of a cliff, there is a large cave with modern buildings inside, which until recently was used by local farmers. The cave is called Kamara Tou Moukhla. Ancient blocks and cuttings in the interior suggest an early use of the cave, which may date back to Prehistoric times. Some twenty metres south of the entrance to the cave there is a stretch of wall with two courses showing. This is built of large roughly polygonal stones.
