When I was 11 years old my bedroom window used to look out across this area from across the bay. The ruins aren't limited to just this area. We used to catch minnows in a pond just to the north against the cliffs in the ruins of another palace lost in some farmers field. Farmers were always finding ruins but then covering them up because they didn't want to have to deal with the government coming in to look at them / protect them. The father of a friend of mine used to SCUBA dive in this bay. The ruins extend beyond the shore out into the bay. He's bring up all sorts of amphorae and the like.
