Dirk, that is correct, seems, it was easy for you as an Asian expert! Locally, the church is called Nicolai cathedral.

Now, it is your turn!

Thank you, Andreas.  Although I had to look twice (I'm not really an expert), it was not so difficult indeed.

I'll have a look in my photo shoebox to post something later.

This time we're looking for two elements, the name of a female deity, and the name of a location.

Is this about the half deity Sirene, between Capri and Sorrento ~ ?

[Dirk Van der Herten]

We have to look in another country.

The city just across the water used to be famous in Antiquity.

could it be

 

Deity = Hera

Heraion Bay

 

Greece?

[Dirk Van der Herten]

It could most certainly be, I will not ask how you found it so quickly 🙂

The country and deity are correct.

Heraion Bay, OK, that is the name that figures on Google Maps. But what is the precise (terrestrial) location as it is known by in Greece?

 

[DAK Glasgow]

Found it with a bit of luck - initially I thought it may be Lesbos but no - then looked at ancient cities starting with Delphi, again no luck then just came across the actual site not too far away.......I wish I could say it was deep understanding of ancient greek history coupled with intimate knowledge of the country but sadly just the internet and some guesswork.....

I hope that this does not constitute cheating

Corinth in the Ancient city

Perachora?

 

 

 

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Correct, we were looking for the Heraion of Perachora in Limni Vouliagmenis, just opposite of Corinth, the city on the horizon.

For an interesting explanation of the site, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraion_of_Perachora

Your turn now, DAK.

Don't worry, I was only teasing you. Of course you didn't cheat, how can there be cheating in looking up information on the internet. I think in solving a riddle, all means are allowed. Well, all legal means 🙂

Only, in order to make it more interesting, those who post an image might check a few things before, like exifs, Google images, etc.

always better to be lucky than good......

You are too good for me 👍😊

over to you

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Thank you, DAK, I will skip my turn and let someone else post.

Let's try this one.  City is enough, but more detail would be nice.
