What To Expect

Monastery of Hosios Loukas

Hosios Loukas is a historic monastery located near the town of Distomo in Boeotia, Greece. It was founded in the early 10th century AD by the hermit Venerable (in Greek: Hosios) Luke of Steiris (in Greek: Lukas). His relics, which had been stolen in the 13th Century and kept in the Vatican for centuries, are exhibited in the Catholicon, the main church of the monastery. The tomb of Hosios Loukas is placed at the juncture of the two churches and it is said that pilgrims used to sleep by the side of the tomb hoping to be healed from the healing powers of the Saint. The two churches of the monastic complex are built next to each other. The older church is the Virgin Mary, which is one of the masterpieces of Byzantine architecture in Greece. The second church, which is the largest, is dedicated to the founder. The interior of the church of Hosios Loukas, is an astounding combination of marble and mosaics, with iconography done by Michael Damaskinos, the 16th-century Cretan painter.

Delphi Ancient Town

Delphi is an ancient sanctuary, also known with the Homeric name Pytho, the place where the most important oracle of the ancient Greek world was located. The ancient oracle Pythia, seated in the Temple of Apollo, inspired by gods, gave oracles to people about important decisions. Delphi is now a large archaeological site with major significance and has a small modern town nearby. It is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site as having great influence in the ancient world. In antiquity, Delphi was considered to be the center of the world. Zeus launched two eagles from the two ends of the world and the point where their paths crossed was Delphi, and this is how it became the center of the world, the omphalos –navel of the earth. Every four years, Delphi held one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, the Pythian Games, to honor god Apollo. They were held at the Temple of Apollo two years after each Olympic Games, and between Nemean and Isthmian Games. The Pythian Games were founded in the 6th century BC and featured competitions for art and dance. The independent Amphictyonic Council −a council with representatives from various nearby city-states managed the games. The temple of Apollo is a Doric structured sanctuary and its ruins date from the 4th century BC. The ancient theater of Delphi was built further up the hill from the Temple of Apollo providing spectators a view of the entire sanctuary and the valley below. It was built in the 4th century BC but was reconstructed in 160-159 BC.
