  • The small Aegean island of Tsimintiri, located between Despotiko and Antiparos, has produced archaeological evidence for a large sanctuary and/or other public complex of archaic date, likely to be associated with the extensive archaic sanctuary of Mandra, located on the island of Despotiko, to which Tsimintiri was connected in antiquity.

  • A small Cycladic island East of Despotiko, to which it seems to have been joined by a land bridge during the Archaic and Classical periods. Survey and excavation on the island have revealed evidence for an archaic period sanctuary and other large public buildings, as well as burials dating to the Early Cycladic, Hellenistic, and Roman periods.
