Hephaestia was the center of the ancient Greek religion on the island and the second most important town of Limnos in antiquity. It was inhabited from 1000 BC till the 11^th century AD, when its port was ruined by a natural disaster and therefore Hephaestia was deserted. The patron of the town was Hephaestus, after whom it was also named. Here the visitor will encounter significant structures that are preserved till our days, such as the sanctuary dedicated to the Great Goddess of Limnos, necropolis, baths, wells and a theater of the Hellenistic period, which was inaugurated in 2010 with the performance "Oedipus the King".
