This summer, on Kea's St. Irene peninsula, he found a Mycenean settlement dating back 3,500 years, complete with temple, palace, private homes with inside plumbing, and a municipal sewer system. Scattered through the town were fragments of delicate Cretan pottery. The settlement was probably destroyed...
