South of the church and further up the
slope is a small house in excellent polygonal
style with huge monolithic lintels and jambs (photo)
A number of the houses of the town were in this style.

The majority of the houses however are
in megalithic and simple quadrated styles
with or without colonnades. A few small
houses have a rectangular portico over the
lower door, remains of steps leading
up at the side to an upper doorway on the
roof of the portico. A large house at the
N.W. part of the town has a fine 2 story
colonnade of ornamented rectangular piers
with panels and seats between the upper piers.
