Dedicated to Poseidon, the God of the Sea, the sanctuary is surrounded by spectacular scenery and is a remarkable example of Doric architecture. Its majestic white columns and well-preserved ruins evoke the grandeur of antiquity. The place is an elegant contrast to the deep blue of the sea and the often brilliant sky. Visitors can stroll among the ruins and admire the impressive panorama of neighboring islands and horizons offered by this promontory, thanks to the temple's orientation.
