Ireon - the HERA temple
Ireon is the place which was, long before people, inhabited by the Olympian Gods. The village is situated at the south-eastern coast of Samos island. It lies at the mouth of the river Imvrasos, where according to our tradition the grand Goddess Hera was born. (Pausanias VII 4.4) Beyond its long lasting history, its substructure and its modern amenities the village still remains pittoresque and hospitable.
