Temperature remains around 16–18°C, so a light layer is useful even in summer.→Dispilio Lake SettlementThe reconstructed Neolithic lakeside settlement shows how communities lived beside the water. Finds include the wooden tablet dated to about 5260 BC.→Doltso & ApozariThese two historic quarters link traditional mansions, Byzantine churches, squares and lakeside streets—the best walking route for understanding the old city.
