What To Expect

1. 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. 40 minutes

Tour was great but George was greater! my husband and I had a great time with George, he was a great driver and professor of greek history, we recommend all the way.

10/10 would recommend!

Published on Aug, 2024

Dimos was absolutely amazing. Never rushed, he was extremely knowledgeable about the city and the sites we saw. If he likes you. He will tell you some "secrets" about Athens and Greece. We ended the day with a massive feast at one of his favorite local restaurants. Highly recomend if you are looking to be catered to, .ake a new friend, and want to know about the "history of humanity". Great tour of Athens!
