Vasiliko, also known as Sikyona, sits on the plateau above Kiato. The village is built on the site of ancient Sikyon, one of the most important cities of ancient Greece in the field of art.
The ancient city
Sikyon was famous for its painting and bronze sculpture; its school influenced the entire Greek world. Today the visitor sees the ancient theatre — among the largest in the Peloponnese — the stadium, and the archaeological museum housed inside a Roman bath.
The village today
A quiet farming settlement with views over the gulf and the plain, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
History and character
Officially the village has been called Sikyon since 1920; until then it was called Vasiliko.
Practical notes
- About 5 km above Kiato.
- See the theatre, stadium and museum together — they are side by side.
- Combine it with the mountain villages of Sikyonia.
