Temple of Apollo (Kolona)
37° 45.0′ N · 23° 25.4′ E
A single 8 m Doric column on the low hill just north of the harbour — all that stands of Apollo's 6th-century BC temple, and a daymark for Venetian sailors that gave the site its name, 'Kolona'.
Practical
A 5-minute walk from the town quay; entry through the Archaeological Museum gate. Wikivoyage (April 2020) lists Wed and Fri–Mon 10 am–5:30 pm, adult €4 — verify locally. The museum holds a sphinx of about 460 BC found here. Kolona beach (non-organised) is just north of the hill.
