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.
