Límnos - Hephaisteia

In the northeast of the island of Lemnos, reached by way of Kontopoúli (30km/19mi), are the site of ancient Hephaisteia on Pourniás Bay (necropolis of eighth-sixth century B.C.; Hellenistic theater), and the ancient port of Chloe (Khlói), where excavations by Italian archeologists (not yet complete) have brought to light a sanctuary of the Kabeiroi (non-Hellenic divinities whose cult was centered on the island of Samothrace). The visible remains include two cult buildings of the sixth and fifth-fourth centuries B.C.
