Lower Larymna

Also known as: Aşağı Larymna

Lower Larymna was a town in ancient Boeotia, on the river Cephissus [1]. When the Romans united Upper Larymna to Lower Larymna, the inhabitants of the former place were probably transferred to the latter; and Upper Larymna was henceforth abandoned [1]. Moreover, the ruins at Lower Larymna show that it became a place of much more importance than Upper Larymna [1]. These ruins, which are called Kastri, like those of Delphi, are situated on the shore of the Bay of Larmes, on a level covered with bushes, ten minutes to the left of the mouth of the Cephissus [1].
