Dionysus Sanctuary
One of Halkidiki’s most well-known temples is the Sanctuary of Zeus Ammon.
The Dionysus Sanctuary was built by Euboean, who lived in Afitis, in the second half of the eighth century B.C. The Nymphs and the god Dionysus were honoured in the cave under the rock on the southwest side of the site.
On a small hill in the northern part of the site, the Egyptian god Zeus Ammon built a shrine.
In the late 5th century B.C., an altar was built. In the second half of the 4th century, a Doric temple with a stone entablature (tower) was built next to it.
It was changed to a marble one in the late third century or early second century. Coloured and raised clay tiles were used to decorate the roof.
Based on the architecture pieces that have been found, the building’s plan can be brought back to life.
