ANTORE
Antore (Pen taluka: 18° 45' N, 73° 05' E; p. 493; RS. Khopoll, 29 m.) established by Anantdev, the Calukya king, is a small port on the Bhogavati creek, one and a half miles north of Pen. At ordinary high tides the creek is navigable up to Antore by boats of seven tons (28 khandis) and at spring tides by boats of forty tons (160 khandis). Beyond Antore, only canoes pass. With the development of Dharamtar port and improvement of roads, Antore has lost its importance as a port. It has neither developed as a village.
