According to archaeologists, during the second half of the 8th century BC was founded by colonists from the Euboean city Afytis. A sanctuary of Dionysus, who was worshiped together with the Nymphs in the cavern beneath the rock, on the southwest side of the site.

The cult of the cave, continued in the following centuries, until the 2nd century AD. In the northern part of the site, was founded in the late 5th century. B.C., the sanctuary of Egyptian god Ammon Zeus, and in the 4th century BC, was built next to the altar a Doric temple pavilion, the roof of which is decorated with terracotta roof tiles, textured and colored.

During the 1st-2nd century AD, the temple was reconstructed and on the south side of the narrow two modular structures were built, while between them, up to the oldest altar, another small altar also. In this open space, believers should be attending some events. The Roman phase of the church lasted until the reign of the successors of...

Στα τέλη του 5ου αι, τοποθετείται, σύμφωνα πάντα με τα ανασκαφικά δεδομένα, η πρώτη παρουσία του Άμμωνα στην περιοχή του ιερού. Ο Άμμων, θεός Αιγυπτίων και Λιβύων των αρχών τις 2ης χιλ. π.Χ., ταυτίστηκε αργότερα με το Δία. Και αυτό έγινε, διότι ένας χρησμός προερχόμενος απ' την αιγυπτιακή Θήβα, όπου βρισκόταν και το κυριότερο Ιερό του θεού, έμοιαζε με χρησμό του Ιερού του Δία στη Δωδώνη. Έκτοτε η παρουσία του στο χώρο της Ηπειρωτικής Ελλάδας είναι συχνή. Ο βωμός του Άμμωνος Διός χτίζεται στα τέλη του 5ου αι. π.Χ. στον ιερό χώρο του Διονύσου και των Νυμφών. Ο ναός χτισμένος στο β' μισό του 4ου αι. π.Χ., έρχεται να αποκρυσταλλώσει τη λατρεία του θεού στο χώρο, να μας αποδείξει την οικονομική ευμάρεια της πόλης, η οποία φαίνεται να μην έχει επηρεαστεί απ' την κατάληψη της Ολύνθου το 348 π.Χ., ή ακόμη και να συνδέσει - κατά άλλους - την ανοικοδόμησή του με το όνομα του Φιλίππου ή και αυτό του Αλέξανδρου. Απ' τον 5ο αι. π.Χ. ο Άμμων Ζευς εμπλέκεται στον ιστορικό ιστό της Αφύτου, γίνεται ο θεός-προστάτης της πόλης, παίζει καθοριστικό ρόλο στην αποφυγή κινδύνων, που την απειλούν, απεικονίζεται σε νομίσματα της εποχής. Στο Ιερό επιβλητική είναι η παρουσία του ναού του Άμμωνος Διός, ο οποίος κατά πάσα πιθανότητα είχε και μαντικές ιδιότητες. Ο ναός, δωρικού ρυθμού με 6 κίονες στη στενή και 12 στη μακριά του πλευρά, κατασκευάστηκε τον 4ο αι. από εγχώριο κογχυλιάτη λίθο, ενώ τα αρχιτεκτονικά του μέλη ήταν επιχρισμένα από λευκό μαρμαροκονίαμα. Αξιοσημείωτο είναι ότι τον 3ο αι. π.Χ. μαρμάρινος θριγκός αντικαθιστά τον αρχικό λίθινο, καθώς ο τελευταίος καταστρέφεται στα χρόνια της Γαλατικής επιδρομής, στις πρώτες δεκαετίες του 3ου αι. π.Χ. Παράλληλα, και η αρχική Κορινθιακή κεράμωση του ναού δέχτηκε επισκευές κατά τους εκκλησιαστικούς χρόνους, αλλά και μερική αντικατάσταση από λακωνικές κεράμους τη ρωμαϊκή εποχή. Ενδιαφέροντα είναι και τα θραύσματα γλυπτών, τα πολυάριθμα όστρακα, καθώς και τα αρκετά επιγραφικά ευρήματα στο χώρο γύρω απ' το ναό, που διαφωτίζουν την ιστορία του Ιερού του Άμμωνος Διός. Νοτιοδυτικά του ναού του Άμμωνος Διός αποκαλύφθηκε θεατρική κατασκευή, η οποία αναφέρεται ως "αμφιθέατρο" και έχει εδώλια στην ανατολική πλευρά και κλίμακα στη δυτική. Η φήμη και η ακτινοβολία του Ιερού - και κατ' επέκταση η ευμάρεια της πόλης της Αφύτου - θα πρέπει να συνεχίστηκε αμείωτη στους εκκλησιαστικούς και ρωμαϊκούς χρόνους, γεγονός που πιθανότατα σχετίστηκε με την κοπή νομίσματος σε...

Its really nice, lots of history in a small place. You cant see the bath house, ruins of two temples, Zeus and Deonisus and a theater like place. The entrance is free and its built like a walking trail, you cant smoke or eat on the grounds. The entrance is on the beach side,not on the GPS "parking" place. The parking is scarce so better look for it on the main road and hike down hill about half of a kilometre. Also you dont have alot of shade there so bring a hat and lots of water and youll be fine. The only thing Im sad about is that they dont have any gift shops. The beach is nice, so dont go here only for the temples. All in all a...

Free entrance and access, free history lesson, free knowledge... Let's keep this place alive. Interesting archaeological site. Zeus was rich back then! 😁

Visited September 2020. There was only one sign on the wrong direction. Must have GPS. Turned around follow steep winding road down behind hotel. Some parking. Beside hotel and beach. Staff friendly. Gave you an introduction then a pamphlet and let you walk around. They said the site was found because the hotel wanted to expand but found these ruins. So hotel extension was stopped. This site was developed. It is small but you can see the foundation and paths. Historic site of interest. Does not take long to visit. Then go for a swim.
