It is thanks to a fortuitous event – the building of a hotel on the land belonging to the Pateras-Tsangaroulis family – that a number of buildings of the sanctuary of Apollo Pythaios or Pythaeus were brought to light, as well as the remains of the Early -Christian houses that had been built on the foundations of these constructions when the sanctuary had been abandoned following the destruction caused by natural catastrophes. Since 1985 the area has been systematically excavated by the Department of Archaeology and History of Art of the University of Athens.

So far the following buildings have been revealed
