Corinth - Surroundings

Two km/1.25mi south of the temple of Poseidon is the village of Kekhriás, which marks the site of the ancient Corinthian port of Kenchreai, with remains of the old harbor works (partly under water). North of the harbor, near the Kalamaki Beach Hotel, the site of a temple of the classical period has been identified.

2km/1.25mi south of the harbor of Kenchreai is a spring with an abundant flow of water which has been known since the time of Pausanias as Helen's Bath (Loutró Elénis).

From Kiáton, 13km/8mi southeast of Xylókastron, a road branches off on the right to the village of Vasilikó (6km/4mi), and the site of ancient Sikyon, birthplace of the sculptor Lysippos. To the left of the access road are the foundations of a temple of Apollo or Artemis. South of this can be seen the remains of a stoa, a bouleuterion and a gymnasion. On the slopes of the acropolis is a theater.

Sikyon features an Archeological Site and Museum that is located in a Roman bath-house. It features pavement mosaics, sculptures and other decorative artifacts.
