The Archaeological Museum of Samothrace and the Sanctuary of the Great Gods are located here. The village used to be the most important port on the island in antiquity. Several important findings were discovered in the area, the most prominent one being the statue of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as the Nike of Samothrace.
