The Temple of Artemis Brauron was among the most important sacred sites in the ancient times.

Iphigeneia had been transferred to Tauris by goddess Artemis herself, when she saved her from the sacrifice in Aulis.

Returning to Greece, Iphigeneia brought with her a wooden statue of Artemis from Tauris.

[4] Artemida is located on the Aegean Sea coast, in the eastern part of the Attica peninsula.

Greek National Road 85 (Rafina - Lavrio) passes through the town.
