"...Another unique characteristic of Chersonesos is the fact that its chora, the surrounding ancient agricultural territory, survives in its entirety. Pompeii's has long since disappeared. The grid of ancient stone roads dividing the chora into 402 plots of 26 hectares and the 140 impressive stone country estates within the landscape have no equal in the world."
