- Monastery of Hosios Loukas - The Byzantine Monastery of Hosios Loukas is a UNESCO World Heritage Site decorated extensively with frescoes and mosaics. The two churches of the monastic complex are built next to each other, and there is access from one to the other through a passage. The most ancient one is the church of the Virgin Mary (middle of the 10th century AD), while the largest one was built a little later (early 11th century AD), and it is dedicated to the founder. The church of Virgin Mary is clearly one of the masterpieces of Byzantine architecture. It is the best example of the “cloisonné” style of masonry, according to which the ashlar blocks of stone are surrounded by bricks, forming lines of decorative motifs. It became the prototype for all the classical Byzantine churches of southern Greece.
Hosios Loukas is a breath-taking Byzantine monastery in a picturesque valley full of olive and almond trees
- Arachova - Arachova is a mountainous village nestling picturesquely at the foot of Mt. Parnassos. It is the most cosmopolitan winter destination in Greece, a great favourite for passionate ski lovers and celebrities, or just first-time visitors who wish to relax in a dreamy mountainous setting with modern tourism facilities. Apart from the mountain activities, Arachova is also famous for its bustling nightlife and as the favorite mountain resort of Athenians.
- Delphi Archaeological Museum - The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, where the oracle of Apollo spoke, was the site of the omphalos, the ‘navel of the world’. Blending harmoniously with the superb landscape and charged with sacred meaning, Delphi in the 6th century B.C. was indeed the religious centre and symbol of unity of the ancient Greek world. The significance of the sanctuary is just one of the reasons why Delphi is one of the best day trips from Athens. Thankfully it’s also a beautiful archaeological site, set on a lush green slope of Mount Parnassus, rocky mountain cliffs on one side and sweeping valley views on the other.
