Cyrtones

Cyrtones or Kyrtones (Ancient Greek: Κύρτωνες),[1] anciently called Cyrtone or Kyrtone (Κυρτώνη), was a city of Boeotia, east of the Lake Copais, and 20 stadia from Hyettus, situated upon a lofty mountain, after crossing which the traveller arrived at Corsia.

[2] The site of Cyrtones is tentatively located at Kastron Kolakas/Karaouli, near the modern village of Kyrtoni, which was renamed from Kolaka to reflect association with the ancient town.

[3][4] The remains of a walled enclosure, and of a building, possibly a temple, have been found.

[5] This ancient fortification has a square tower made out of 1.5 m thick stones.

From the ancient fountain now known as Kamini flows brackish, ice cold water with healing properties (for dysentery).
