The Eupalinian Tunnel is the middle section of the ancient city of Samos’s aqueduct. It was built in the mid-6th century B.C., and was one of the most significant technical achievements of antiquity. It was admiringly described as the “tunnel with a mouth at either end” because of its two openings by Herodotus, to whom we owe the search for the tunnel in the modern period and its identification in the 19th century. After the research of Greek and foreign scholars, the tunnel was excavated from 1971-1973 by the German Archaeological Institute.
