European travelers visited the monument as early as the 16th century, but its systematic investigation began in 2011. After three excavation seasons the largest part of the cavea has been uncovered, the boundaries of its orchestra have been found and an important part of the stage has been investigated. The two corridors, once roofed, that led the spectators to their seats, as well as the suma cavea, are the best-preserved parts of the sitting area, although only a few parts of its initial carved elements were found in place. The richly colored marble tiles found in situ in the perimeter of the orchestra give an idea of its initial decoration. The area of the stage is covered with an impressive destruction layer, filled with various architectural members that once formed the scaenae frons. The latter was also richly decorated with sculptures, many of which were found among the debris (e.g. marble group of Achilles and Penthesilea, parts of an Ethiopian figure, a horse, amongst others). A kiln was later built in the destruction layer, to provide new material for the buildings around Gortyn. Further investigation will shed more light on the Great Theater of Gortyn and add to our knowledge concerning the history and topography of the area.

BC, refuge sites and fortified settlements are established and organized over the entire island of Crete. However, the era of disturbances, of migrations, depopulation of main administrative centres and escape to inaccessible, naturally fortified sites seems to have begun much earlier than previously thought, as clear new evidence from the site of Kalamafka in the Aposelemis Gorge suggests.
