TEMPLE OF ATHENA
( 217 6740; admission
"
8; 8am-7.30pm)
Right on top of the hill in Behramkale village is
this 6th-century BC Ionic temple. The short tapered columns with plain capitals are hardly
elegant, and the concrete reconstruction hurts more than helps, but the site and the view
out to Lesvos are spectacular and well worth the admission fee.
Villagers set up stalls all the way up the hill to the temple, touting local products from
bags of dried herbs or mushrooms to linen and silverware.
