In Brief
The "ARC OF FAITH"
From the verdant slopes of Mountain Helikon to Apollo’s shrine and the oracle, the visit to Hosios Lukas Monastery and Delphi will go beyond your greater expectations. Prepare yourselves for a double travelling experience.
Firstly you will initiate yourselves to the Byzantine art and Architecture of the 10th & 11th centuries, when Byzantium was at its Prime; secondly you will unravel the mysteries of Delphi, one of the most secret and occult sanctuaries of the Ancient Greek World.
The 1.000-year-old monastery of Hosios Loukas, at an altitude of 430 m. on the slopes of Mountain Helicon in Central Greece- it has been listed on UNESCO's World Heritage Sites- attracts especially during the summer months, almost 2,000 visitors daily, which bow to its unparalleled aesthetic and undeniable architectural value. Hosios Loukas represents the most complete and therefore, the most important monastic ensemble of medieval Byzantium.
Our services offer a carefully designed and up to a point flexible schedule, so you can do what you enjoy the most during your trip: indulge to the tasteful suggestions of the Greek kitchen, or even having a stroll to the traditional stone-built village of Arahova! Being so close to Athens, isn't it a shame to miss it?
