Manika

Extensive city and cemetery of the early Bronze Age (2500 - 2000 BC), in a fertile and strategic point of the Euboean Gulf. Small parts of the city have been excavated, which had a relatively regular urban plan, with streets, cobbled open spaces and houses with courtyards and wells. Two horseshoe-shaped buildings are interpreted as granaries. Graves carved into the rock, multiple burials. The findings show an extensive network of relations with the rest of the Aegean. The settlement was also inhabited during the Middle Bronze Age (2000 - 1600 BC). The finds are exhibited in the Museum of Chalkida.
