Dimini Archaeological Site, Volos Overview

The Archaeological site of Dimini is a Neolithic settlement showcasing the splendid urban development of the Neolithic settlements in Ancient Greece. You can witness the special architectural style of the houses here: the mud-brick houses were built in six concentric circles with walls, and cooking was carried on indoors. You can also read the descriptive panels while looking at the other discoveries of the settlement, such as jewelry, clay idols, and tools made out of clay, stone, and bone.

The ruins of the settlement also reveal the existence of a court and a big "megaron" structure in the middle of the village. You can also opt to have a tour guide to explain the historical artefacts during your journey to help you get more context. The Dimini Archaeological site is possibly the oldest ruin in Europe. It dates back to the 5th century BC. It is estimated that 200–300 people lived in the settlement and it has 30–40 houses.
