Beaches
The oldest signs of human settlement are Late Neolithic (4th millennium BC or earlier), but c. 2000–1650 BC Akrotiri developed into one of the Aegean’s major Bronze Age ports, with recovered objects that came not just from Crete, but also from Anatolia, Cyprus, Syria, and Egypt, as well as from the Dodecanese and the Greek mainland.
History
Theologos is a charming seaside village located in a cove along the coast of the Gulf of Opountia and serves as the port for Malesina. It belongs to the Municipality of Lokron and is built on the site of the ancient city of Ales’ port, dating back to the 6th century BC. It was founded by a few families of Malesina in 1923 who moved to its beach.
Its name comes from the small chapel of Agios Ioannis the Theologian, and it has a long history. Nearby lie the ruins of the ancient city of Ales, mostly submerged along the beach and in the sea, including residences and tombs, which indicate that earthquakes caused its destruction.
