1. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hosios Loukas Monastery (alongside the monasteries of Daphnion in Athens and Nea Moni in Chios island). Hosios Loukas was actually a military saint who prophesized the re-conquest of Crete. The Hosios Loukas Monastery is one of the most important monuments of Middle Byzantine art and architecture founded on the 10th AD by monk Loukas. The Monastery complex, set in a serene imposing natural environment, includes buildings and cells next to the two churches, a large collection of Byzantine sculptures and fantastic frescoes such as the top gold mosaic of the saint.

About Athen

Athen stellt die Akropolis über eine weitläufige moderne Hauptstadt, in der antike Ruinen, Hanggassen und lange Taverna-Abende nebeneinander bestehen.

Der Parthenon krönt die Akropolis, flankiert vom Erechtheion mit seiner Korenhalle, und das Akropolis-Museum am Fuß des Hügels zeigt die auf dem Felsen gefundenen Skulpturen. Rundherum machen die antike Agora, der Tempel des Olympischen Zeus, der Hadriansbogen und das marmorne Panathenäische Stadion die klassische Stadt leicht zu Fuß erkundbar.
