See my other comments and my map overlay photo on this page for more about locations in the area.

This photo is of the temple at Kalapodi.

You are right! This does seem to be Kalapodi - I was wrong. Now that you prompt me to look more carefully with your comment on the main page, I see there seem to be olive orchards in the background here and I think the temple ruins on the spit between Hyampolis and Abai have only wild plants surrounding them. The olive orchard in this photo is consistent with the Apollonian Oracle of Abai at Kalapodi as you point out, so the location of this photo is 38.636798, 22.895437. Thanks for correcting! Does anyone have a picture of the temple ruins between Hyampolis and Abai? (the probable Hyampolis Sanctuary of Artemis and Apollo)

To be more clear, David Morgan seems to be correct that it is likely that the Hyampolis Sanctuary of Artemis and Apollo lies at the coordinates that I listed in my FIRST comment above, so this page is named correctly, but this is NOT a picture of it - it's the wrong picture. Rather, this is a picture of some column sections at the site of the Apollonian Oracle of Abai at Kalapodi (whose coordinates are in my comment directly above this one). So we still need to find a picture of the Hyampolis Sanctuary of Artemis and Apollo.
