steep road, hairpins, and climbing many steps lead to amazing views, and amazing energy at the cave and chapel, deep connections with love, compassion, healing and consolation; very kind hospitable and understanding nuns willing to help and guide you, some speak english
2. Lake Doxa

We have discovered lake Doxa two years ago, and I have to say it is one of my favorite destinations for a small trip in Greece. Magnificent scenery, in summer or winter, pieceful, great place for a family walk. A really unforgetable view, make sure you taste the local products (especially the cheese and the rusks), I always get some for home, and if you have a bit more time, make the effort to see the old Monastery near by. A great great destination, I will go back !!!
3. Acrocorinth

Reviewed By Tony M - Malta
There is free parking outside the site as well as a restaurant and public restrooms that are wheelchair accessible. That is were the latter ends. The site is not navigable if one has any sort of mobility difficulties. The entrance is uphill and path consists of slippery rounded stone paving. Further up beyond the walls are soil paths. Apart from the breathtaking views some building ruins can be found. As has been previously pointed out, info boards at the site are illegible. Watch out if you have young children as many openings on the ramparts have no protective barriers. Place seems neglected although it is manned by a gatekeeper and someone also watches the small chapel on site. Could easily spend a whole morning there. Place closes 3pm.
4. Vouliagmeni Lake

Great place to spend a day - water is very warm and clean: you can see the bottom, sand entrance, somewhere there are stones but not critical. Also you can see the connection between the sea and the lake - the small channel with fast moving flow. On the beach there are places to have coffee and to eat. Perfect for children.
5. Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Bowmanator22 - Charlotte, North Carolina
The Corinthian ruins were splendid to visit. Many of them are truly ruined, so don’t expect any impressive Parthenon-like edifices. However, the museum at the beginning of the tour is superb, with many wonderful pieces of pottery, statues, and even a few ancient graves complete with bones.
6. Temple of Apollo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 158 reviews
Reviewed By Dimitris L - Sydney, Australia
The Temple of Apollo in ancient Corinth dominates the whole archaeological site. It is the most important monument. Not much remains today, but that is irrelevant. The thought that this is the temple site of the god of Light and Music and several other qualities, makes this something significant. The present temple was built in 540 BC, replacing an earlier 7th century structure. It is a Doric style temple, whose columns are single gigantic monoliths! The temple was home to a bronze statue of Apollo in the ancient times, but unfortunately it has long gone so we will not be seeing it today! This is a great place to visit.
7. Corinth Canal

Reviewed By KGB777 - Singapore, Singapore
It's interesting to see the Corinth canal after having seen the much bigger canals in Suez and Panama. Although this is much smaller, it's nevertheless an impressive feat of engineering. Well worth stopping here when you're passing through - a quick walk over the canal gives you a sense of the scale.
8. Ancient Nemea

Reviewed By KGB777 - Singapore, Singapore
Ancient Nemea consists of 2 locations: the stadium and the main ancient site. I was fortunate enough to have both of them entirely to myself when I visited in early March. Being able to soak up the ancient ruins without having the experienced ruined by hordes of tourists was really a major bonus.
9. Lighthouse Melagavi (Iraion)
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By FancyFree55 - Florida
We'd seen the lighthouse on a map of Loutraki and thought we'd drive in that direction to discover some of rural life here. The road is very windy and sometimes very narrow, including hairpin turns in several places. Sometimes you're skirting the edge of sheer cliffs along the route.
When the road dead ends, you've arrived. There's a small parking lot that can accommodate maybe a dozen cars. Then you climb a very rocky dirt path that twists its way toward the lighthouse. Talk about sheer cliffs! If you venture off the path, there are no guardrails. There's nothing preventing you from falling a hundred feet to the rocks below.
Hubby and I climbed all over the cliffs because the views from up here are unbelievable. We happened to time our arrival not long before sunset, and the sky was brilliant hued, facilitating some incredible photos.
You can't get in the lighthouse itself. A locked metal fence borders all four sides. There's no admission charge, and you can stay as long as you want. I'd recommend getting off the hill before dark because the path isn't well lit. Don't leave though, without checking out the ancient ruins in the cove below the lighthouse.
10. Domaine Bairaktaris
Overall Ratings
5 based on 41 reviews
Domaine Bairaktaris is located 2 kilometers from the entry of Nemea, just 1 hour from Athens. Under the shadow of the temple of Nemean Zeus, with feeling of respect for the region and responsibility for the conservation of the quality, welcomes the lovers of chosen wine and the selective professionals.

We visited this vineyard with a group of friends. We had a tour of the cellar and lunch. It was very nice and informative. The catered lunch was tasty. We did not know Greek wine and were impressed.
