Aulis, Archaeological site in Chalkideon Municipality, Greece

The ancient city extends across a rocky hill near the Euboean Gulf, featuring remnants of classical structures and temple foundations.

The port city gained prominence as the gathering point for the Greek fleet before their departure to Troy during the Trojan War.

The Temple of Artemis, constructed in the fifth century BCE, stands as a reminder of the religious practices and architectural methods of ancient Greece.

The archaeological site lies 60 kilometers north of Athens along the Athens-Lamia national highway, with regular bus services connecting to nearby Chalkida.

The location preserves the exact spot where, according to mythology, Agamemnon prepared to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to appease the goddess Artemis.
