The private homes of more affluent families had two stories, seemingly with roof terraces.

Trading ships from Crete stopped here to load and unload wares As we know from shards of pottery found here, local artisans made a business of imitating the styles and fashions of fashionable Crete, creating affordable copies and keeping the local citizens on the cutting edge of style.
