Present location

As far as its location is concerned, according to the route Vrassidas had followed, the remains of ancient walls and tombs with tiled roofs and also a number of potsherds which were found on the north side of the hill of the Prophet Elias, we can assume that the ancient town of "Arne" was situated near this hill. However, according to another interpretation, the town Augea was located around the hill. It must have been built at that place where today's Arnea is situated and the hill of the Prophet Elias was its acropolis.
