It is uncertain whether the city was a Greek apoikia, but Protocorinthian, Corinthian and Attic pottery dating from the 7th and 5th centuries BC has been found. Bouthrotos lay 6 km from the modern city of Saranda, in the north of Greece, in the region of Epirus. The acropolis was protected by three wall circuits, the oldest built between the 6th and 5th centuries and the others in the 5th, 6th and 3rd centuries. The enclosed area was almost 4 ha. In addition, a stoa and a 4th-century theatre have been excavated on the southern slopes of the acropolis.
