Sanctuary of Demeter - Naxos - Greece

At a distance of 3 kilometers southern to Ano Sangri, at the site of “Gyroula” are found the ruins of the sanctuary of the ancient gods Demeter and Apollo , dated in the late Geometric period, whereas the place seems to have been settled as early as in the Mycenaean times. The sanctuary was succeeded by a temple, in the 6th century b.C. The excavations of the site have brought to light numerous finds, now displayed in the small local museum on the site.
