LERNE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE
Remains of a village inhabited from the millennium BC. In mythology, it was here that Heracles killed the Lernaean Hydra.
On the shores of the Argolic Gulf, this site (Αρχαιολογικός Χώρος Λέρνας/Archaiologikos Choros Lernas) contains the remains of one of Greece's oldest villages, inhabited from the 6th millennium BCC. The "House of Tiles" (2500-2200 B.C.), with its roof made of terracotta slabs, prefigures the tiles of Antiquity. In mythology, the site is most associated with the second of Heracles' twelve labors: the fight against the Hydra of Lerna.
