CLIO

The village of Clio, named after the ancient muse "Clio", from an altitude of 350 meters has a view over the beach and its origins as in the surroundings of the village there are ruins of ancient towns. A recent research has revealed an ancient town of the early Copper Era that dates back to 3200 a. C, situated at the area called Paliocastro. At this area it is believed that there was a statue representing the Muse. It was taken by the pirates but we don't know when. There was found accidentally at/in Heraklio (ancient town) of Italy a fresco representing the Muse, protector of the History and the Rhetoric. The natives of the ancient towns, we mentioned above, during the dark years of the Middle Age and before the conquest made by the Turkish in 1453, had to move at the place, where Clio is situated today, because of the pirates. They wanted to survey the sea in order to prevent the dangerous and bloody raids. The first buildings were extended from the position "Platanos" to the position "Hamam" and there were not visible from the sea.
