Temple of Demeter and Core

One reason for visiting this temple is the magnificent view it offers over the whole of the surrounding area. The oldest temple in the city, it is located on a terrace and is entered from the eastern end through a porch with two columns. On the left of the entrance is a room where the priestesses slept and along the wall there is a high stone bench where the votive offerings were displayed.

Outside the temple, on the south, can be seen the pits into which the blood of the sacrificial animals was poured. You can return to the theatre by following the same goat path you used in coming here. A little further on, towards the west, you can see a few beautiful villas.
