Why Athens Tips:
Sunglasses and hat are advisable.
Wear comfortable walking shoes as there is an ascent up to the Temple of Poseidon archaeological site with some areas of rocky terrain. We would rate this walk as low to medium intensity so you don’t need to be super fit. Serious photographers should bring a tripod.
There is a restaurant and kiosk at both the Lake and the archaeological site serving light meals and refreshments.
