التاريخ

Palairos (باليونانية قديمة: Παλαιρός, لاتينية: Palaerus) was a city of ancient Greece, situated in the southern part of the region of Epirus.[2] The city, ruinous for centuries, is thought to have existed during the Mycenean period, since parts of the city walls appear to date back to 2000 B.C. The construction of the walls interchanges between the square-shaped and the polygonal system and the parts belong to different periods. It lies high in the mountains overlooking the Ionian sea and Lake Vourkaria. The city is thought to have had a population of over 10,000 people.

 
Epirus in antiquity

في القِدم كانت جزءاً من أكارنانيا، حسب Theodorokoi، الواقعة على الساحل الغربي، المطلة على البحر الأيوني، which is placed by Strabo between Leucas and Alyzia.[3] In the first year of the Peloponnesian War (431 BCE) Palairos was in alliance with the Athenians; and when the latter people took the neighbouring town of Sollium, which was a Corinthian colony, they gave both it and its territory to the inhabitants of Palaerus.[4]

At nearby Actium, Mark Antony and Cleopatra were defeated in a sea battle by Octavius. According to tradition, the salt lake was the saviour of Cleopatra, who hid her ships there.

The citadel on the eastern part of the yard is separated by a partition and is considered to be the most ancient part of the wall, probably from the Mycenean period. The ruins are close to the present-day town of Palairos.
