NOTE
1. Hood et al. [1964] require that this site be bounded on the E by a stream which crosses the road at a point about 2.9 km. from Vianno (p. 83). There is, in fact, a small stream which goes over the road at approx. 35.034425° N, 25.405401° E (there is a soccer field at that location). The distance from this crossing back to Ano Viannos is about 2.8 km. (depending on which exact starting point is chosen). This stream continues to the S and flows around the E side of the proposed location.
