Your comment

The Valley of the Temples site is beautiful on the top of the cliff. Also with sea view, it's like stepping back in time when the Greek era.
The temples are more or less well preserved especially that of the Concorde.
Please see use of group tours with a guide or as temples have many secrets you can find.
The summer remember to take water, hat or cap.
