Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods

Climbing eastwards from the House of the Dolphins leads to the sanctuaries of Kynthos. On the flat area at the bottom of the Kynthos staircase are the sanctuaries of the Foreign Gods. The Sanctuary of the Egyptian Gods, shared by the triad of Serapis, Isis and Anubis, is located on a high terrace by the foothill of Kynthos. The remaining two columns of the Temple of Hera (500 BCE) are also visible to the right at the bottom of the street leading up the hill. The steep, stepped road leads to the sanctuaries on the summit of Kynthos.
