Situated on top one of the hills of the island, the temple of Aphaia is not just a well preserved piece of antiquity, but also a great viewpoint over the Saronic Gulf.
Unfortunately, as is often the case, the remains of the pedimental sculptures of Aphaia temple were taken away, some to Munich others to Athens. Walking around the temple, looking up at the columns and even seeing some paint in some parts, inevitably makes you wonder how it all looked like some 2500 years ago. For sure, the sun was there, the singing of the cicadas, as was the superb view over the sea and surrouding lands. The view of former arch rival Athens must have been radically different in those times.
