Ancient Sicyon, GR Get Directions

Ancient Sicyon, a charming archaeological site on a small plateau surrounded by fertile orchards, is one of the best kept secrets in Corinthia.

It was a complete city-state, with a temple, a palaestra, a bouleuterion and a superb theatre, which flourished during the Hellenistic period. The city-state minted coins as early as 500 BC, featuring a dove and the letter San, as well the head of Apollo.
