Discover the Temple of Artemis: Dedicated to the goddess Artemis, protector of hunters, animals, and childbirth, Vravrona holds a unique historical significance. Legend has it that Artemis, angered by the killing of two young female bears, inflicted a plague upon Athens. To appease her, Athenians sent young girls aged 5 to 10 to serve her in her temple, known as arkti (bears). Festivals like the Vravronia were held here, featuring music, sports, and poetry recitations.
