Αξίζει διότι σώζεται ακέραιο. Χρήζει επιτακτικώς συντήρησης.
It is worth it because it is saved intact. Needs urgent maintenance.

Ένα αρκετά καλό σημείο να ξεκινήσεις τη πεζοπορία σου προς την Ακροκόρινθο
A good enough place to start your trek to Acrocorinth

Επιβλητική, όμορφη και σε χρήση οθωμανική κρήνη του 1515, τότε που Σουλτάνος ήταν ο Σελίμ ο Β' ο Γιαβούζ, πατέρας του Σουλεϊμάν του μεγαλοπρεπή.
Imposing, beautiful and in use Ottoman fountain of 1515, when Sultan was Selim II Yavouz, father of Suleiman the Magnificent.

Είναι ορόσημο αλλά όχι κάτι που αξίζει να πας μόνο για αυτό..
It's a landmark but not something worth going for just that ..

Πανεμορφη Οθωμανική κρήνη χτισμένη το 1515. Ενώ πρόκειται για µια τυπική βρύση τύπου cesme, έχει εν-σωµατωµένα πλήθος από µαρµάρινα και πώρινα αρχαία κοµµάτια, τοποθετηµέ- να έντεχνα µε αισθητική σκοπιµότητα. Κατά κύριο λόγο γίνεται χρήση αρχιτεκτονικών µελών της παλαιοχριστιανικής περιόδου. ∆ύο συµµετρικοί µαρµάρινοικιλλίβαντες στηρίζουν το διπλό οξυκόρυφο τόξο, έχοντας µερικώς σβησµένα µεκαλέµι χριστογράµµατα εγγεγραµµένα σε κύκλο. Η βάση είναι από µαρµάρινουςαµφικίονες, ενώ το άνοιγµα του τόξου διακοσµείται σε όλο το πλάτος του µε ενι-αίο µαρµάρο, το οποίο φέρει λαξευτό φολιδωτό διάκοσµο, µαρτυρώντας ότι κάποτε ήταν καπάκι σαρκοφάγου. Το σύνολο πλαισιώνεται από µικρότερα µέλη µεσκαλιστούς πυροστρόβιλους. Εκτός των µελών από µάρµαρο γίνεται χρήση µε- γάλων σχετικά πωρόλιθων. Οι ακρογωνιαίοι λίθοι έχουν λαξευµένες τις άκρες τους µε τη µορφή συµφυών κιονίσκων.
Beautiful Ottoman fountain built in 1515. While it is a typical cesme type fountain, it has a built-in multitude of ancient canary and porcelain beds, skillfully placed for aesthetic purposes. Mainly architectural's parts of the early Christian period are used. Two symmetrical fish bow supports support the double pointed arc, having partially erased christmas inscriptions inscribed in a circle. The base is made of Pharisee's, while the opening of the arch is decorated in its entire width with a single Pharisee, which has a carved scaly decoration, proving that it was once a sarcophagus lid. The whole is framed by Smaller Parts µExcavable fire turbines. Apart from Psararo Swamps, relatively large poros stones are used. The cornerstones have their edges carved in the shape of concave colonnades.

It is a good spot, to store some water before going up to the Acrocorinth

The Turkish fountain at the edge of the slope of Acrocorinth, where the road begins the long climb to the western gates, is a familiar landmark, where you can find people from the area who are not going to visit like me, but spend half an hour filling water bottles for a whole week. It is slightly damaged at the top but still shows all the features of its extremely common type. A collecting tank has been built against the hill, and a slightly larger façade of limestone and reusable marble delivers the water into a basin cemented together out of marble spoils and set under an arched recess. The two thick wings of limestone, which supports the arch, rest on Byzantine window pillars laid sideways, and rise to a pair of ornamental marble blocks at the springing. Both of these are spoiled at secondhand, and show signs of the original use in some classical building as well as a Christian monograms which decorate their sloping interfaces. Above this, a long block well cut scale pattern runs the full width of the recess, and on top, on a marble rock, the donor’s Arabic inscription: “Joseph the Taylor ordered the construction of these for flowing water entirely at his own expensive, for the love of God, let him be exalted, and desire in to place the merciful Lord, in the 921st year (of the Hejira), which corresponds to 1515
