Sellada
Mountain pass in Santorini, Greece
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sellada (Greek: Σελλάδα) is a mountain pass between the peaks of Profitis Ilias and Mesa Vouno, near the village of Kamari in the island of Santorini, Greece. The NE and NW slopes of Sellada accommodated the necropolis (i.e., cemetery) of Ancient Thera, an ancient city of Santorini. Excavations conducted in Sellada by Nikolaos Zapheiropoulos during the years 1961 - 1982 uncovered several tombs with funeral gifts, pithoi, and funerary kouroi and korai,[1] some of which are exhibited at Fira archaeological museum.
