Resumen de Cipollino marble quarries south of Karystos at Aghii (Euboea, Greece)
The quarries of Karystian marble are located along the western coast of Euboea from Styra, at the north, down to Karystos in the southern part of the island. The quarry district of Cape Mandhili is some 12 km south east from Karystos. This district, located not far away from the coastline, extended over 200 m up on the slopes of the Koukoubagies mountain, between 90 and 120 m asl, and is well visible, due to the presence of two large quarry debris, which testify an intense exploitation activity. Three different and separated quarry sites could be distinguished with typical quarry fronts up to 4 m high and several rough finished quarry items are still lying in the district area.
