What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Monastery of Daphni, Athinon avenue, Athens Greece
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.

Our driver Terry was absolutely fantastic, the information, stories and sightseeing were simply amazing. The lunch stop was one of the best we have had on our week in Athens. If anyone has the chance to book a trip ask for Terry it is well worth the time.

We felt safe and well cared for the entire time. As a 27-year old female I would have felt safe as a solo traveler and would recommend this tour to everyone! Fantastic lunch, great pace.
