Kalo Chorio (1st mill, Tis Potamous)

Mill Description

---

The mill is located at the intersection of the main valley and a gully. It lies perpendicular to the leet that runs parallel to the river, so the water has to turn 90 degrees; where the water hits the channel wall on the outside of this bend the mortar is worn off and the river cobbles polished. The shaft is strongly tapered, with an upper diameter of 2.5m and a lower one estimated at 1.0–1.5m; the depth is 5.5m. Immediately to the north of the penstock the traces of two or three small rooms are just visible, with some fragments of gypsum flooring. A substantial retaining wall is built along the edge of the river bed. M. Given
