Modern Description: After a stretch of inhospitably rocky coast, the deep inlet and attractive waterfront of Langáda (15 km) come into view, with fertile land behind and around. Ancient inscriptions and archaeological soundings have shown that in the north area of the bay (now occupied by a military camp) was the sanctuary of Apollo Delphinios and Artemis Delphinia. It was in this bay, following the revolt of Chios against Athens in 412 BC, that the Athenians fortified their position after the capture of the island of Oinousa and maintained a constant presence up until 406 BC.
