Well worth the long drive to get there. The temple is as well preserved as its cousins in Agrigento. Also, as it is under a tent you can visit at the hottest hours.

it's a visit to an archaeological site that will leave you with open mouth. at 1000 mt altitude you find a very good conserved temple of ancient Greece, unbelievable , too great pieces, too high mountains all around. also if it's alone it's so incredible that you can not leave it unseen .
I was lucky enough to be a guest of a family who live in Kyparissia, well to the south of Apollo Epicurius. This was one of their "must see" places, and I must agree with them. The husband knew how to get here via the "back roads", so I was treated to incredible vistas on the way to visit this exquisite site. However, this is not a route for the faint of heart. The reconstruction of the temple is protected by a large tent, and much of the work is funded through UNESCO. Near the entrance to the site, you can turn around and see, on a clear day, the top of Mount Kronos (next to Ancient Olympia).
