ATHENA TEMPLE

Discovered by the American Archaeological School of Athens in 1882, it is partly restored. At an altitude of 238 m, this Doric temple is characteristic of archaic Greek architecture with its six columns spaced further apart than it will be afterwards. The setting of the site is simply sublime: its founders were not guided by chance... The sunset (or sunrise) attracts the crowd. You will meet campers, picnickers, romantics, a drink in hand... The caretaker is rarely present outside the usual hours and it is easy to get in.
