  • We were very impressed by the magnitude and splendor of this temple. Apart from the Greek ruins in Athens, this was the most impressive and well preserved Greek ruins that I’ve seen in my travels...

  • Good to visit if you are in the neighborhood, takes about an hour and a half including the museum if you pass all the sites. Don’t go in midday as there is almost no to none shade around the walking paths. The temples are nice to see, however the rest of the ruins not very special. 1 or 2 mozaïks that you can see and the rest just stones
  • The temples and compound here are as impressive as the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens. Huge grounds and amazing ruins. Would take 3-4 hours to see all the ruins and that's not including the museum next door. Well preserved and accessible, you can actually walk through the houses, shops, temples, etc. Great experience.
