At a low hill at the sheltered bay of Fana, there are remains of the temple of Apollo of Fana (Fanaios Apollon).
The small chapel of Agioi Theodoroi is nowadays standing at the same site.The site is considered the Delion of Chios. Legend has it that Delos, Apollo’s birthplace was revealed to his mother, Leto, here.
Hence the term “Fanaios” which mean the one that has been revealed.Remnants of the temple built at the end of the 6th century B.C. as well as the sections of the "perivolos" (enclosure) have been preserved.
The Temple of Fanaios Apollo was not only important for Chios, but for the wider area of Ionia. It was famous in Egypt too, as the evidence from the series of Egyptian scarabs that were found during the excavations shows.
