The Ionian temple was dedicated to goddess Dimitra and dates to between 530-520 BCE. The sanctuary of Gyroula is made entirely of white marble. The temple was most probably dedicated to the worship of Demeter and her daughter.The temple was converted into a Church during the 6th century CE. There is a museum with artifacts from the site.
