32.  The Kavirio Sanctuary
The sanctuary was built at the north part of Lemnos on the cape
Chloe, opposite the port of ancient town Hephaestia. The sanctuary
was dedicated to the worship of Kaviri, the children of god
Hephaestus and his wife Kaveiro. It was destroyed in the 3th-4th
century A.D.

nine days. During this glorious feast they revived the discovery of fire
and celebrated the revival of nature and fertility of land. These
celebrations and ceremonies are named Kaviria Mysteries.
Kaviri were considered daemons of sea, fire and metallurgy.
The earthquake and the fire were attributed to Kaviri.

34. Philoctetes’ cave
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philoctetes_(Sophocles)#The_Philoctetes_Project
According to the Greek
mythology Philoctetes from
Thessaly was one of the
heroes and the master archer
of the Trojan war because the
demigod Hercules had given
him his bow and poisoned
arrows in return for his help.
Philoctetes lived for ten years
at this underwater cave when
he was abandoned by his
companions, after their rest in
Lemnos on their road to Troy,
because he had been bitten by
a poisonous snake and he was
very seriously wounded.
His story is the main theme of
the ancient tragedy
“Philoctetes” of the tragic
playwright Sophocles.
is located at the coast under the hill of the archaeological site of Kavirio
sanctuary.

35.  The ancient town Hephaestia
was once a capital city in Lemnos. Today only its ruins remained. It was named
in the honour of Hephaestus, Greek god of fire and metallurgy.
The amphitheatre of Hephaestia dates from the late of 5th century BC.
