NOTES
1. The kandylakia (F800) is located at 38.214965, 22.023635 next to the road and not far from the chapel of Hagios Dhimitrios itself (F799 at 38.215193, 22.024159). Around the kandylakia are remains of Cyclopean walls and there are, according to Papadopoulos [1979] 35, '61. Chadzi (Trapeza)', also remains of chamber tombs, both here and to the north, but plundered and no longer visible.
