In the sanctuary of Yria, in the place Livadi of Naxos, the religious activity starts from the prehistoric years (130 BC) and continues uninterruptedly until today.
In fact, the myth says that when Theseus abandoned Ariadne on Naxos, Dionysus saw her and fell in love with the young, beautiful lady. At first, Ariadne didn't like the god and tried to hide in the intense greenery of the island, but Dionysus found her, they got married and Ariadne became a goddess. To honor their god, the residents of Naxos built a large temple that partly survives till today in the modern position Iria, close to Glinado village and about 5 km from Chora town.
