The Heraion of Perachora (Greek: Ηραίο Περαχώρας) was a sanctuary of the goddess Hera situated in a small cove of the Corinthian gulf at the end of the Perachora peninsula. In addition to a temple of Hera of unusual construction and antiquity, the remains of a number of other structures have also been found, including a L-shaped stoa, a large cistern, dining rooms, and a second potential temple. The Sanctuary of Hera at Perachora is 14.2 kilometres (8.8 mi) north-northwest of Corinth and 75.9 kilometres (47.2 mi) west of Athens. Although there is debate between Argos, Megara and Corinth, the sanctuary was probably under the control of Corinth, as it faced the harbors of that powerful city across the Corinthian gulf. Cult activity at the site continued from perhaps the 9th century BCE to 146 BCE, when the Roman general Mummius sacked Corinth during the war with the Achaean League. In the Roman period, domestic structures were built on the site, indicating that the area was no longer a sanctuary. This site is significant for the study of the origins of Greek temple architecture and rural cults.

Heraion of Perachora, Corinth Greece
Among the most important archaeological sites located in Corinth, is the Heraion Perachora in the edge of the Corinthian Gulf.
In this area, some of the most important archaeological evidence were found linking this place with early Corinthian civilization. From the archaeological excavation that were carried out during the years 1930 -- 1933, the area of Heraion Perachora were under thorough archaeological search. During those excavations, the two sanctuaries namely Hera Limanaia and Hera Akraia were thoroughly researched. The archaeological survey expanded its excavations to the near-by Vouliagmeni Lake where residues from early Neolithic, Helladic and Mycenaic era were found.
In the archaeological area which covers a wide area of the natural harbour located in the Corinthian Cape, excavations through light to many architectural and religious buildings. Those buildings included the two sanctuaries as well as a sacred pool. It was common in ancient Greece, when sailors where about to take a long journey threw coins in a sacred place asking for the Goddess to bless their journey with good luck. Among other excavational reseraches, a preserved dining room and water channels can be seen. Following the path to the harbour, a double apsidal cistern can be seen, an L-shaped stoa, an altar, and what is believed as a west wing of the temple enclosing ruins of roman house in it.
The Heraion Perachora is considered to be among the most important places of the religious cult of Hera in the area and it was oftenly claimed by the near-by cities of Corinth and Megara which were very strong cities at the time. But, from the archaeological excavations, it is supported that the Sanctuary of Heraion was controlled by the city of Corinth which was on the other side of the Corinthian Gulf.

开车旅行奥林匹斯山希腊 | Travel by Car to Mount Olympus in Greece
The main trailhead for the ascent of Mount Olympus starts from Priónia – just under 18km up the mountain on the sealed road from Litóhoro. There is an information booth at km3, where (in high season, anyway) your nationality is recorded and you’re given some literature advising you of the park rules, but so far there’s no admission charge. At the Priónia car park there’s a spring, toilets and a primitive tavern..
Vouliagmeni Lake with Inspire 1
Vouliagmeni (Greek: Βουλιαγμένη, meaning sunken) is a seaside town 25 km south of Athens, Greece.
Immediately to the south of town and very close to the sea, a rare geophysical formation is to be found that gave the suburb its modern name: Lake Vouliagmeni (Sunken Lake), a small brackish water lake fed by underground currents.
Because of its constant and comfortable water temperature, the lake functions as a year-round spa.
