Kakovatos
Kakovatos (Greek Κακόβατος) is a small coastal village in Greece and an archaeological site about 1.5 kilometres inland. Kakovatos is located about three kilometres south of Zacharo in the municipality of the same name in the ancient landscape of Triphylia in the western Peloponnese in the region of Ilia.
The importance of the site in the early Mycenaean era was recognised through the discovery of three tholos tombs and the remains of a settlement from the 16th-15th centuries BC. Today, only the sites of two tombs and the topographical location of the housing development on the acropolis are recognisable.
Zacharo
Zacharo (Greek Ζαχάρω) is a small town in the south of the region of Western Greece on the Peloponnese, directly on the Ionian Sea. The municipality was recognised as an urban municipality in 1947 and has been enlarged several times through incorporations, most recently in 2011 when the neighbouring municipality of Figalia was added to Zacharo.
The place is known for its thermal springs at the Kaiafas lagoon, which were already known in ancient times. The sulphur springs were sought out for the treatment of skin diseases and arthritis, among other things.
