Ancient Lissos was the port of Elyros and was built in a small valley between Sougia and Paleochora. It flourished from the Hellenistic period until the 9th century, when it was destroyed by the Saracens. It was famous for the Asclepion. One can still see the mosaic floors of the Temple of Asclepius with depictions of animals.
