According to French scholars, the quarries of Alyki are classified into three groups, A, B and C. Although they operated firstly in different periods, there were also periods when quarries from different groups operated simultaneously. Therefore, the quarries from group A, within the peninsula, are the oldest ones, but they operated until the end of antiquity and they were abandoned in the early Christian times. The quarries from group B, on the eastern side of the peninsula, were in bloom in the early Christian period, but they started to operate earlier. At the time when the quarries from group B were developed, the exploitation of the quarries from group C, on the southern part of the peninsula started too.
