Location information

Its position was identified from marble and brass inscriptions during the excavations in 1885 from the Geek Archeological Company, as well as from Pafsanias who reports that its distance was 50 stadiums from Asopos (about 9 kilometers). It was situated in a gorge South of Finiki in a part of the road, which leads to the Village Velies, where there were Temples, built dedicated to the God Apollonas and the Asklipeon of Iperteleaton. The Pantheon of Apollonas according to the inscriptions found, was the central shrine of the people, Liberal-Lakones. During the whole year a throng of palmers visits the Temple, from other cities of this Lakonean Confederation. In the Museum of Sparti there are two inscriptions, which are not legible, that were found in this area.

Hyperteleatum

  Hyperteleatum (Huperteleaton), a place in the territory of the Laconian Asopus, at the distance of 50 stadia from the latter town, containing a temple of Asclepius. The French Commission discovered on the coast below the village of Demonia some remains of the inclosure of this temple on a rock artificially cut, with many tombs excavated in the rock, and at 500 steps from the temple, nearer Demonia, a fine source of water.
