Ancient Kamiros is the excavated Doric city on the northwest coast of Rhodes — one of the three ancient cities that merged to found the city of Rhodes in 408 BC. Its hillside ruins offer a remarkably complete picture of an ancient Greek town.
Founded in the archaic period, Kamiros prospered through agriculture and olive oil production. After the three cities united to found Rhodes in 408 BC, Kamiros declined and was eventually abandoned. It lay buried until excavations began in 1859.
