Sanctuary of Artemis

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:53:43

This site, originally a neolithic settlement, came to be revered by worshippers of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and protector of women in childbirth and newborns. The current remains of the temple date from approximately 420 BC, though the remains of other structures predate that. The museum houses exceptional finds from the sanctuary and excavations in the area.

From Athens, take metro line 3 to Nomismatikopio, then bus 304 to Artemis (Vravrona). It’s a 10-minute taxi ride from there, with a nice stretch of beach on the way.
