Itinerary

  • The Monastery of Daphni

    The Daphni Monastery was founded towards the end of the sixth century A.D. on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo which had been desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo was built in the Ionic style using the thinnest and smallest columns. The columns stand on a base with an ornamental scroll at the top. A few of the columns of the temple have been preserved. One of the four Ionic columns of the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo remains at the site, as it was re-used in the Daphni Monastery. The other columns were removed and taken to London by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin (of Elgin Marbles fame). The columns, column bass, and column tops from the Sanctuary of Apollo are currently in the possession of the British Museum.

Phenomenal

Published on Jan, 2025

A fantastic way to explore Athens in comfort with a tour tailored to your preferences. Our guide, George Ilios, was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, making the experience truly memorable. We also witnessed the changing of the guards in front of the Hellenic Parliament, which only takes place on Sundays.
