Wikipedia description:
Kassope or Cassope (Ancient Greek: Κασσώπη - Kassōpē, also Κασσωπία - Kassōpia and Κασσιόπη - Kassiopē) was an ancient Greek city in Epirus. Kassope occupies a remote site on a high platform overlooking the sea, the Ambracian Gulf and the fertile lands to the south. The slopes of Mount Zalongo, where the Dance of Zalongo took place, are found to the north. It is considered one of the best remaining examples of a city built on a rectilinear street grid of a Hippodamian plan in Greece.
