Acropolis of Eressos Attractions Eressós

 
From Eressós (98km/61mi; museum) it is worth making a detour to Skála Eressoú (101km/63mi), on the south coast, which has a beautiful sandy beach. This is the site of ancient Eressos, birthplace of Sappho and Theophrastos. To the west, near the beach, are the ruins of an Early Christian basilica known as the Skholí Theofrástou, the School of Theophrastos.

Also in the village are remains of another three-aisled basilica dedicated to St Andrew, with a large mosaic pavement, much of which has been preserved. Behind it is a small museum containing local finds.
