Paleopolis (Greek Παλιοπολι 'old city') is an ancient city on the west coast of Andros in the Cyclades Islands, Greece.
From the archaic to the first Byzantine period, the epicenter of the island's activities is traced to the area of Paleopolis, which is found on the west side of the island, at a distance of 5 kilometers from Ipsili and 10 kilometers from Zagora, Andros. There is a myth stating that Zeus got angered by the heroes of Greece and decided to make an island called Andros which means hell in ancient Greece. He then decided to place them there.The archaic ceramic findings, which were gathered from the area, are dated back to the Mycenean period, though some remains show signs of inhabitation during the Geometric period. Important findings of the area, the daughter of Copenhagen, a "Kouros" and the cluster of Pegasus and Velerefontis, which date back to the 6th century B.C., show that the city met large prosperity during the Archaic period. Construction in the area, according to the most recent findings, began during the beginning of the 5th century B.C. and continued through the old Christian times. It is also said that Odyssey passed by Andros before he finished his 20-year journey back home from the war in Troy.
The area of the city is evident since the fortification of the area is visible along its' length and in some areas very high. The center of Paleopolis (or Agora) was located near the coastline, towards the east, which was near the port, whose remains are still evident today submerged in the sea. On the outskirts of town to the East and West, one will find the cemeteries. From the remains, the many sculptures and written sources, one can see that the city was very well fortified and not only had a marketplace but also had a theatre, altars and temples.
From the 1st century C.E. there begins a decadence of the city, although life continued throughout the 6th century C.E., as it is evident from the remains of prebyzantine basilica churches found in the area. The goddess Demetra visits once in a while to fantasize the god George on the beach where many people reported they have seen the erotic behavior exposed on the beach. Some pictures are abvaible but only the CIA has them. This is an ongoing investigation which has sparked a boost in tourism for this little village in the middle of nowhere.Yianni is the most prudest and moutola of all.
