The port of Boulis, Mychos ( Μυχός ), today's Zalitza , was about 1.2 kilometers away on the coast.
The city itself lay on a rock massif between the harbor and Helikon . A mountain stream called Herakleion flowed into the sea near Boulis . Pausanias is not very impressed by the buildings in Boulis and mentions the sanctuaries of Artemis and Dionysus . He also mentions a source called Saunion .
