Atsipades is located above the village Atsipades, Agios Vasilios, on the mountain Korakias, which is part of the Kouroupas-massif. It was discovered by K. Nowicki in 1985 and excavated in 1989 by Alan Peatfield. Although the site is described as a minoan peak sanctuary, final neolithic pottery was found in  cracks in the rock on the lowermost of the two terraces.
