Figalia sits above the Neda River valley in Greece’s mountainous western Peloponnese, where wooded slopes and ravines mark the boundary between Elis and Messenia. The settlement occupies the area of ancient Phigaleia, an Arcadian city known in antiquity for its defensible rocky setting. In the nearby Bassae highlands stands the UNESCO-listed Temple of Apollo Epicurius, a fifth-century BC sanctuary noted for its Doric, Ionic and Corinthian elements. Figalia is a rewarding stop for travellers exploring the inland Peloponnese beyond the coast. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across the western Peloponnese.
