PALAIOKHORA (“Kalamyde”) Selinos, Crete.

Roman, and possibly earlier, settlement 1 km NE of the modern village. Remains on the site are confined to a heavy scatter of sherds, but a short distance to the NE are the remains of a fort built to defend Kantanos from the W. Traces of the defense wall, ending in a hollow circular bastion with inside entrance can be seen here.
