At Stylos there is an intact, round Minoan tholos tomb inside the right gate. The tomb is in the middle of an olive grove. It dates from the Late Minoan Period and has been built on a hill. A downward-sloping path built with stones leads to the entrance of the tomb, which is underground. This is a vaulted tomb that has been built with stones placed one above the other so that successive layers are progressively nearer the centre of the tomb until they eventually meet.
