Chalandriani
We start at Halandriani, on the plateau of the Halanda area. Beneath today’s settlement, we come across the remains of an important Early Cycladic community from the 3rd millennium BC. This is also where the largest known Early Bronze Age cemetery in the Cyclades was uncovered, giving the area a strong but understated sense of the past
