Archaic Temple of Apollo & Church of St George

Archaic Temple of Apollo & Church of St George is located here

About 3km up the coast from Skala towards Poros are the ruins of the Archaic Temple of Apollo and next to these ruins is the little Church of St George. This Doric temple dates back to 6th century BC and was dedicated to the Greek god Apollo. On Saint George’s day the icon of Saint George is taken from the church in a procession down to the beach and follows the coastal road to Saint George’s little church in the area of Gradou.
