Alfred Biliotti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Alfred Biliotti (1833 – 1915) was a British diplomat and archaeologist.

He served as British vice-consul at Rhodes and was transferred to Trebizond in 1873; later he was consul at Chania (Crete) and consul-general at Salonica. His service in Crete covered the period of the revolutionary movements of 1889, 1895 and 1897, in all of which Britain was concerned as one of the Great Powers. His service at Salonica saw the beginnings of the guerilla warfare which would eventually lead to the Balkan Wars.

He excavated at Camirus (1858-1865), Ialysus (1868-1870), Satala (1874) and Cirisli Tepe (1883).
