What it is
At the tip of Cape Perachora, west of Lake Vouliagmeni, the Corinthians had a sanctuary of Hera beside a cove of clear water. The foundations of the temples remain, the altar, a stoa and the cisterns, among rocks and pines, with the white Melagavi lighthouse on the next headland. It is a place for strolling, looking out over the gulf and swimming in the cove.
Getting there
By car from Loutraki, about 30 minutes to the end of the road, past the lake. If you want a guide to tell you about it, Trekking Hellas runs a four-hour walk from Loutraki with a visit to the Heraion, from €40, and another at sunset.

Lo organiza: Trekking Hellas, desde 40 € per person (https://trekking.gr/en/activities/hike-loutraki-visit-ancient-heraion)
