Terrace of the Lions
Having enjoyed the three temples of Apollo, we are now back on the path. Continue straight (obviously towards the part of the site you haven't seen yet). As you march along, you will come upon a round well. Pass it to the left (so you keep it on your right-hand side). The path narrows through the humble remains of two ancient buildings (grey on the left, white on the right). Pass through these "narrows" and turn right. Now it becomes tricky. The road halves again. An inviting dirt path leads straight to the modern grey building in the distance (the museum). Don't go there. Take the course to the left towards that mysterious column of nicely dressed stones. The Market of the Italians (Agora des Italiens) should be on your right before you reach the column. Then comes the Letoon. By now, you should be able to see a pack of marble lions straight ahead. Approach them with respect but without fear. You can stop in front of any lion you like.
