Two tholos tombs have been excavated at Apesokari. The smaller and later of the two, which was excavated by the Germans during the Second World War, is the one photographed here. The tomb is notable for the fact that burials did not only take place inside the tholos tomb, but also took place in some of the outer rooms which join the tholos tomb as well. It also had a cult room, most likely a pillar crypt, since it had a wooden pillar on a stone base. A small bench altar was built in a niche to the right of the entrance. A cult image, formed from natural rock, was found on this altar. There was also a large altar outside, surrounded by a paved area.

The second tomb is located some distance to the East of the first and was excavated by Kostas Davaras. Again there was a large circular tomb with numerous rectangular side rooms. A Minoan settlement originally existed nearby.
