Greek sanctuaries and worship

I find it very interesting that the Greeks, just like followers of religions now built these sanctuaries in populated places where people could find them. It wasn't a sacred piece of land bu the building made it now sacred. It is also interesting how when replicating Poseidon's sanctuary they are able to pick out a place that the ancient greeks would have back then. That just shows you how not so different the ancient greeks actually were from us now and how we go about religion. I didn't know so much went into pleasing these deities and giving them their sacrifices and offerings. There were so many steps and things to do or they wouldnt get their offering or they wouldnt be happy with it.
