There you can enjoy your swim before entering your brand new SUV to visit the archaeological site of Heraion. Heraion consists of two parts, dedicated to Hera Akraia and Hera Limenia respectively. The worship of the goddess began in the Geometric period, around 800 BC. The first arched temple was built in her honour. Later, other temples, altars, buildings and the market were added. The Corinthians from the opposite shore went there twice a year and honoured the goddess with ceremonies and tributes.

Now if you’re feeling adventurous, the drive down to Leonidio is also very good. It’s a narrower road than the one up the mountain and needs a bit more caution but it’s nevertheless a great way to explore country roads.
