Sanctuary of Apollo Napaios at Klopedi

An Archaic sanctuary above Agia Paraskevi whose scattered trachyte architectural fragments include some of the finest known Aeolic capitals. The temple was founded in the 8th century BC on a cult site going back to the Late Bronze Age, and worship shifted from a fertility goddess to Apollo Napaios in the 7th century BC.
