The Heraion of Perachora.

The sanctuary of Hera Akraia ('Hera on the Promontory') World Icon, about nine kilometers west of Perachora, near Cape Melangavi, was a significant Hera sanctuary in ancient Greece.

On the site of the archaeological site there is a small chapel which you can also look inside. From the archaeological site a path leads to a lighthouse and a small platform where you can sit with 2 people.
