A tarmac road leads to the small harbour of Aghios Andreas (St Andrew) and from here it is a short walk, past the Kyma ("wave") taverna to the top of the hill. This hill was once surrounded by huge defensive walls built in the "Cyclopean" style and was clearly once a very sizeable settlement. Remains of Anthini can be found in a wide area between the small church and some farm buildings (in fact parts of it have even been incorporated into the farm itself). There are some dogs near the farm buildings, normally kept on a chain (for those who prefer to avoid walking past dogs the hill can also be reached via the Church at the North end of the hill, just above the harbour). Anthini was one of a number of small city-states in this area including Tegea, Thyrea, Niris and Eva. Anthini has been dated to around 4th or 5th Century BC although very little is known about it. At some point it was abandoned and evidence of a later settlement has been found at the harbour itself where excavations have revealed structures which are Roman style and from the Byzantine period.
For anyone travelling along the Argos-Leonidion coast road, this cache would involve a 3km detour to the harbour and a short walk. In the summer, the taverna is a great place for lunch.
