The Temple of Posideon






After some serious shopping today I went along the coast to the temple of Posideon. There walking around the grounds was dinner, well no but it was a nice thought. The locals call these Kessa in Greek, some Americans thought it was partridge or Grouse. The coast road on the way out was lovely about a 2 hours by local bus.

The temple was built in 600 BC and was well fortified , but was captured by others 4 times before christ and was finally destroyed to it s present form in AD 60 ish.
