Description	The Kolona site is a stump of Doric column (8 meters) that greets visitors from the promontory as they enter the harbor of Egina-Town. This marks the place of a large temple to Apollo (Pausanius said Aphrodite). Under temple are remains of a Mycenaean + pre-Mycenaean settlement (3rd millenium BC). From Dr. Keefe's journal: "Saw single remaining Doric column on the 'Kolona' on rise as you come into Aigina-Town Port. Only had till 3:00 till museum + column area was closed, where church + baptistery was supposed to be. I raced up to column to start measuring off 400 meters west of it for church ruins, but nothing but Roman and early Mycenaean ruins to see -- quite a bath complex to west right till edge of sea."
