Tired, you stumble on a clearing in the trees, the mist dispels and the pale light of the low winter sun breaks through. In the clearing before you standing stones nestle against the trees that surround the clearing, and a soft air of magic suffuses the air. The wind and the rain of ages past, has carved fantastic patterns on the stones. In the stillness of the stones, an ermine dances in the rays of the winter sun. This is Megalithia, land of ancient stones.

Over the last eleven years, we have personally visited and photographed all 412 archæological sites you will find in these pages (117 in the main national sections and 295 in our Tours section). We are working hard on adding the photos and descriptions of more than 150 other monuments
