Kambos of Avia has been identified with the Homeric Enope, later Gerineia, one of the seven cities that Agamemnon offered to Achilles. The Mycenaean tholos tomb, next to the tower of Prime Minister Alexandros Koumoundouros was built around 1450 BC and remained in use until 1200 BC. It consists of a dromos (passageway), a stomion (entranceway) and a vaulted burial chamber.

Inside the chamber two lead figurines were found with influences from Minoan Crete, now exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. Clay figurines and numerous pieces of jewellery made of gold and semi-precious stones were also found. The tomb has been associated with Machaon, son of the god Asklepius and physician to Nestor, king of Pylos. Inside the tomb, ancestor worship ceremonies were probably performed in Classical and Hellenistic times.
