In the coastal town of Methoni in Pieria, the central square is anchored by a fountain whose clean lines and symmetrical form recall the civic elegance that once defined public spaces across northern Greece. Modest in scale, it serves as a point of orientation rather than a destination, a quiet landmark at the heart of daily life. Rescue excavations carried out in the area between 2008 and 2015 revealed traces of earlier occupation, reminding visitors that this unassuming modern fountain stands on ground layered with history.
