Thermos - Temple of Apollo
27km/17mi east of Agrínion, on the northern shore of Lake Trikhonis, is the temple of Apollo at Thérmos. Here, near an earlier Helladic megaron, a first temple of Apollo was built in the 10th - ninth century B.C. Its successor, of which some remains survive, was built about 625 B.C.
