Heraion of Perachora

This is the Heraion of Perachora (loosely, "the temple dedicated to Hera on the land on the other side [of the Isthmus of Corinth]") along with some pictures of the modern lighthouse perched above it. It's a very ancient site with breathtaking views of the Corinthian Gulf.

The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens

Here are some photos of the Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens. While the site is ancient, the ruins are mostly late-Roman. It's not the best preserved or the flashiest site that we'll see, but it's still very historic and quite cool.

 

Sounio

Here are some photos of my favorite place in Greece (so far), Sounio. It's the place, according to myth, where King Aegeus committed suicide, leaping into what thereafter became known as the "Aegean" Sea when he mistakenly thought that his son, Theseus, had died at the hands of the Minotaur. It's easy to see why the Ancient Greeks treated the place as sacred.
