I came across this archaeological site when I was cycling through Greece.

This site was fantastic; some really nice ruins set on the side of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis.

There were temples, a theatre, a stadium, they had baths, a gynasium and water channelling systems. The were detailed writings on the bricks/blocks that made some of the structures.

The museum was great with some interesting artifacts and statues of gods or possibly aliens.
