The 5th century B.C. temple of Poseidon is a spectacular monument and from the top of the cliff where the temple stands you can enjoy the most amazing panoramic view; on a clear day you can see the island of Aegina as well as the mountains of the Peloponnese beyond. The temple has been an inspiration to many artists and poets among whom Lord Byron carved his name on one of the columns.
