A 2,000-year-old ancient building has been discovered in Crete at the remote ancient site of Lissos, south of Chania in Crete, during the first season of an archaeological excavation held after 62 years, the Greek Ministry of Culture & Sports said on Tuesday.

Facing east, the building appears to be either an odeum (where musical activities took place), or a bouleuterion (where members of the boule met). According to preliminary information, the building appears to have been constructed in the early Roman years, during the 1st century AD.
The building is part of a theater complex, and the excavation took place in order to preserve the findings already exposed to the elements from the late '50s, when it was first excavated by Nikolaos Platon. Further north, there was a temple dedicated to the healer god, Asclepius.
