Melagavi Lighthouse
Made of stone, it stands at the north entrance of the Corinthian Gulf and above the ruins of the ancient settlement and the Hera temple. Originally it was running on petroleum (from 1897 until 1947) and since 1982 it’s running on electricity. It is a significant sample of lighthouse architecture while safely guiding the ships and sailors to their final port destination.
Vouliagmeni Lake
The archaeological site of Heraion
The West Courtyard, an irregular pentagon that was identified originally with the agora, can be seen to the southwest of the temple. A double-arched reservoir is located to the east (on the second level), while to the south of the reservoir is a building for dining (or hestiatorion < restaurant). A stone drain and another smaller sedimentation tank were revealed to the northeast of the reservoir. In between levels, you can see the small church of St. John which originally stood on the geometric temple and moved later on during the excavations. You’ll encounter the Building of Hestia at the easternmost end, on the third level of the site, while at a small distance below lie a series of retaining walls, the remains of a staircase, and a large artificial cavity, conventionally called the Sacred Reservoir.
