Modern Description: At the ruined chapel of Ag. Strategou NW of Neda (formerly) Berekla village, architectural blocks remain from a once-important sanctuary of Pan near the springs of the Neda river. Illegal excavations brought to the art market a series of bronze figurines of Pan. The site was then excavated by Kourouniotis in 1902, finding dedications to Pan and an altar.
