The Monastery of Daphni
The byzantine Monastery of Daphni lies to the west of Athens, almost half-way along the ancient Sacred Way from Athens to Eleusis. According to Pausanias, in the same area there was an enclosed temple dedicated to Apollo, Demeter and her daughter Persephone. The monastery is protected by a massive square fortification with high walls, inside which looms the Katholicon (the main church), with a perimeter colonnade and cells for the monks adjacent to the south side of the church, forming a small churchyard. The Katholicon of the monastery dates back to the 11th century. the interior is decorated with high quality mosaics, on a gold background, marble revetments and sculpted decoration, from which very few examples are preserved nowadays.
Corinth Canal
Corinth Canal is an engineering marvel. A project that spanned many centuries, it was conceived by a ruler of Ancient Corinth, begun by Roman emperor Nero, and completed in the 19th century. Cut through solid rock, the canal is more than 6km long and 23m wide, its vertical sides rising 90m above the water. The canal did much to elevate Piraeus’ status as a major Mediterranean port and is particularly impressive when a ship is passing through
