Worshiping cave of the ancient times
On the south side of the south building of the ancient temple, also known as the Dioskouri temple, rises a hill. At the base of the hill there is an opening of a cave. A second cave was located higher up on the hill, on the left of the path leading to the early Christian basilicas.
Inside this cave, several offerings were found: Such as pottery and figurines which are dated from the Archaic to the Roman period. Today, this area is not open to visitors. An inscription of the 3rd century BC, found near the excavated buildings of the ancient temple, and it refers to a cave dedicated to Apollo. Probably one of the above two caves is dedicated to Apollo as it is mentioned in the inscription.
