Looks like other ruins near there, nice...
There is a younger church, about 5th century:
The funny part is that many elements of the old Greek temples were used.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Try placing a thumbtack on the place and copy the coordinates from there.
