On the northwestern slopes of Mt.
Parnon, at an altitude of 900 m., lies Karyes, a pretty village near the site
of the ancient town with the
same name where Artemis Karyatis was worshipped. The goddess was accompanied
by the virgin Caryatid nymphs, whose statues adorned the Erechthion of the Acropolis

The church of Panagia has probably been erected on the site of the goddess’s
temple.
