Lykopoulos (Salamis)
Lykopoulos is a cape in the south of the island of Salamis south of Kolones .
In 1990, the Greek archaeologist Yannos G. Lolos determined early Helladic settlement (FH II, 2650–2200 BC) on the peninsula on the basis of scattered, heavily worn ceramic shards. In 2010 he carried out excavations and discovered a fortification from that time. The south and east sides remained unpaved, as the terrain here is very steep. In the west and north it was surrounded by a wall 1 to 1.50 m thick. In the north by the gate there was a horseshoe-shaped tower made of medium to large stones with a diameter of 4.30 m. The walls of the tower are preserved up to 1.20 m high. In the south a 9.40 m long and 0.55 m thick wall was found facing west-east. It was probably part of a large building.
A similar settlement from the early Helladic period was found on Salamis on Cape Mertzani .
