Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This is off the beaten track and takes a bit to get there but it is quite astounding. This temple is a UNESCO site and is one of the most complete examples of its type. It’s preservation and reassembling is an on going project and whilst this continues a massive tent has been erected. Quite a feat in itself.

An impressive site but took a ages to get there by car (awful steep mountain roads), driving through the mountains was really pretty and quite an experience in itself, but can be hair raising!
The site itself is small but the temple is better preserved than the acropolis in Athens. Surrounded by terraced steps it’s a really peaceful spot.

The frieze of this temple is in British Museum, so bare columns don’t excite me so much. I actually feel sorry that all those most precious parts of the helenic culture ended in foreign museums.
It is a nice half a day trip with some magestic sceneries, but I was not impressed with the covered columns.

We drove to Bassae from Kyparissia. The views are breathtaking, but the zigzagging road is littered with fallen rock and requires constant attention. There's practically no ongoing traffic which makes life a bit easier. Driving from Bassae to Olympia is less stressful but no picnic either.
The site is terrific. The Temple of Apollo Epicurius is in a remarkable state of preservation.

Il viaggio per raggiungerlo può spaventare ma ne è valsa la pena. Paesaggi mozzafiato ci hanno accompagnato lungo la strada e una volta arrivati il panorama è pazzesco. Entrati nella protezione adibita per mantenere il tempio intatto ci troviamo davanti questo capolavoro dell’architettura greca. Siamo rimasti letteralmente senza parole dalla bellezza presentatasi ai nostri occhi.

Splendido tempio che si erge su di un picco montuoso della Messenia, ad oltre 1100 mt sul mare.
Remoto e difficile da raggiungere (ma merita ampiamente l'impegno!!), ha un colonnato in tutti e tre gli ordini greci (dorico, ionico e corinzio) pressoché integro. Sono in corso lavori di stabilizzazione e restauro illustrati in un interessante video. Potrete trovare ulteriori informazioni sul sito del Ministero della Cultura greco, ma ANDATE A VEDERLO!!!!!!

This place is simply extraordinary and a MUST SEE if your in Greece. It was the VERY FIRST Greek UNESCO site, and that alone tells you how special it is and speaks volumes beyond words given the amazing archeological sites in Greece.
I actually discovered this phenomenal place by accident when I took a wrong turn after I left Ancient Olympia, I saw it listed on a road sign and decided to give it a go and was sooooooo glad I did. What ensued was an absolutely magical drive thru gorgeous rural Greek countrysides, culminating upon the majestic mystical mountain where the site is located.
The atmosphere is electric with arcane energy up there and the very earth itself takes on enchanted properties previously unbelieved, and it suddenly becomes crystal clear why the ancient people chose that very special site for this fantastic wonder.
The views up there are absolutely awesome and after witnessing the outstanding magnitude of the site its hard to know what's more impressive.... the fact the ancient people got all that super heavy building material way, Way, WAY up there, or the fact they were able to build it way, Way, WAY up there !!!!! Either way it's truly an exceptionally tremendous and incredibly monumental feat !!!!!!! Birthplace of Western Civilization indeed :) It's remote, yet you'll be be well rewarded for your efforts with the experience of a lifetime !!!

The temple is covered by plastic, to protect from rain. It's found in a remote location, on top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere but scenery is spectacular.

De tempel is een hoogtepunt van klassiek Griekse architectuur en is gelegen op ongeveer 1150 meter hoogte in een ruig landschap. De tempel is goed gepreserveerd maar helaas doet de tent waarin hij zich bevindt toch enigszins afbreuk aan de ervaring. Delen van de tempel waren tijdens ons bezoek ook afgesloten ivm werkzaamheden. Al met al zeker boeiend, maar wel naar mijn mening met name voor liefhebbers van architectuur die zich hiervoor tijd en moeite willen getroosten (wij hebben van en naar ons vakantieadres in Pylos in totaal 4 uur en 30 minuten over de tocht gedaan).
De route is redelijk goed met borden aangegeven maar wij vonden onze Tomtom toch handig om de lokatie snel te vinden. De weg naar de tempel was in het algemeen goed van kwaliteit maar in de Neda gorge waar de route doorheen liep waren er toch vrij veel afgevallen stenen op de weg te vinden.

An hour and a half north of Kalamata – about the same from Pyrgos – is the temple to Apollo Epicurius at Bassae Vasses. It sits at the peak of a mountain top. There are old photographs Apollo Epicurious that show you what it looked like in its element, but for many years now – decades my Taxi driver Fotis thought having driven these mountains for years – but the temple is now under restoration covered by a tent. The newly restored parts are worth seeing, as is the temple in in its propped up form. Columns lean both ways, foundations show where they’ve collapsed. It takes little time to imagine this as an unrecognisable mound of sculpted grey limestone – without the props. But the Greeks continue to restore it. There are works out in the yard, documentation of fallen stone and a sense that one day this will be worth seeing again. It’s worth seeing now. It’s enormous. You simply can’t get the view of it from a distance which is what all monuments need.
The Ancient Phigaleans who lived 13km away (there are ruins) dedicated the temple and sanctuary to Apollo Epicurious (the healer) in the 5thC BC to protect them.
I could not find a day excursion to this place. So I hired a taxi. Fotis had never been, but his colleagues told him how to get there. I negotiated a price and went. Had I booked a tour group that included this, I would have been in for many thousands. But I got to hear about Fotis, the state of economy, his aspirations and he mine.
The road up is also a treat. The smells of the Peloponnesian mountains in summer is special. Herbs and wildflowers and figs and plane trees, oaks and pines cover the mountains. They go on forever. There are springs along the road we took. You can stop and drink cold water gushing from the fountain. At one point, long into the drive, I catch sight of the tent in the distance. It’s huge. It looks close, but it is still huge. It can’t be far, I thought. But going around mountains is not the same as a straight line. We then lost sight of it. We drove and at each turn looked to see if we were on the right path. A while back, before ascending the steepest part of the ranges, Fotis stopped and asked some old men on a verandah – ‘keep going, there are no turns’ they said. So at each town or crossing, Fotis stopped, looked and one of us said they did say ‘keep going no turns’. It took some more time, but there it was up ahead. We drove around the peak of the mountain to the front to get to it. The path generates plenty of anticipation. But the road stops outside it. Like the men said, ‘keep going, there are no turns’. The closer you get of course, there are road signs.
When we got there, it all came back to Fotis. He’d been to these villages around here a few times. He’d seen the tent before. I mentioned that my grandparents both came from around here. From Delfini. He said he saw it on the screen when looking up the route – we kept an eye out for it, but we didn’t catch it. The temple was enough to see. I bought him a ticket, we’d come so far together.
