A 6-hour tour to experience 6 remarkable places.

First Stop
at the temple of Demeter, a monument made of white marble. It is estimated to have been made a century before the Parthenon, between 530-520 BC. It overlooks the mountain and the sea and was dedicated to Apollo, Demeter and her daughter Persephone. In 1949, some excavations were carried out in the area of the temple, and in the following years, architects from the Munich Polytechnic carried out studies to restore it. However, apart from the temple of Demeter, you will be lucky enough to visit the archaeological museum of Gyroula, which has been awarded for its architecture.
