Discovering the ruins of the Heraion is one of the most delightful activities in Samos that you can do. If you will let your imagination stretch far enough, you can picture this great structure as it once stood during the ancient times.

Once the largest of all Greek temples, all that remains of the Heraion, which was dedicated to the goddess Hera, is several copies of its original statuary, a monumental foundation and one single column that has also undergone reconstruction. There were so many people who were impressed with the great number of columns that skirted this temple during its glory days that there were many Ionian cities that had their temples reconstructed in exactly the same way. It is said that the Ephesian Temple of Artemis just close by is an absolute copy of this awe-inspiring Samian temple. Going through the remains of the temple is one of the many activities in Samos that you can do to learn of the extent of damage caused by the number of invasions and earthquakes that occurred in the site.
