Thousand years after the Minoans, around 1000 A.D., the Dorians came here and founded the largest of the four ancient cities of the island in the place where Pigadia is situated today and was called Potidaio or Poseidio.
Pigadia - the word means "wells" in Greek Language - took its name from the many wells which existed there and is a newer town with 1700 inhabitants.
The Minoan Acropolis was possibly built on the rocky hill. Following an uphill newly-built road and passing through a mountainside full of pine trees one will reach the chapel of Panagia Larniotissa. From this place the visitor will enjoy the magnificent view of the port, the whole town of Pigadia, the bay of Vrontis with the long beach and at the backround the mountain villages.
