Modern Description: 500m along the shore to the south of the centre of Chora, before the Sea View Hotel, are the remains of an Asklepieion, built some way outside of the ancient town. It profited from curative and thermal springs by the shore. Excavations here brought to light the foundations of a stoa and many votive offerings and figurines from what was an important 4th century sanctuary and healing centre.
