Connections for Kokino Archaeo-astronomical Site

Kokino comprises a holy mountain and ancient observatory from the Bronze Age.

The hill was formed by volcanic rocks, which crack into blocks which have been used by prehistoric dwellers. A platform holds four stone “seats” and nine marker cuttings. Archaeological missions have unearthened fragments of ceramic vessels, hinting on a settlement.
