Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 58 D2 Sicyon/Demetrias
The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Vasiliko. Writing the entry in PECS, Ronald Stroud notes that the original settlement (Old Sicyon) was likely to be found at modern Kiato on the Corinthian Gulf. The present archaeological site that aligns with the place visited by Pausanias is the result of the intervention of Demetrios Poliorketes who moved the settlement some 4 km inland in 303 B.C. and had it occupy two upland plateaus. The lower part of the site is mostly occupied by modern Vasiliko.
