The ruins of the temple of Aphrodite, an archaeological area with mosaics and a small museum in an old stone mansion with a charming courtyard. Among the mosaics, the famous Leda with a Swan deserves special attention. A small but interesting museum - there is a sacred black-green lava stone symbolizing Aphrodite, vases from the Mycenaean period of about 13-12 centuries BC and a bathtub of a similar Minoan/Mycenaean period. It reminded me of the bathtub in Nestor's palace in Pylos. A place worth seeing, a small area, benches, the coolness of the museum courtyard. It's interesting and won't take long. I recommend
