About Vravrona
Vravrona (ancient Brauron) is an archaeological site positioned just 11km from Athens Airport, featuring the sanctuary of Artemis where young Athenian girls performed the famous bear ritual in ancient times. The ultra-close proximity makes this an ideal cultural stop for history enthusiasts with time before flights or seeking quick ancient site access.
The site includes temple remains, a museum with excellent kouros statues and ritual artifacts, and atmospheric ruins in a peaceful setting far from Athens tourist crowds. Limited KTEL bus service (2-4 daily) makes the ultra-short journey challenging via public transport despite close proximity. The nearby beach of Porto Rafti provides additional interest beyond the archaeological focus.
The sanctuary held major importance in ancient Athens with rituals involving girls aged 5-10 serving as 'bears' for the goddess Artemis. Modern excavations revealed significant architectural remains and votive offerings now displayed in the site museum. Year-round access and the ultra-close 11km distance make Vravrona practical for even short Athens layovers, offering cultural depth in a tranquil setting away from main tourist circuits.
