Daphni monastery, Athens, Greece
Oddly enough, it seems that I've now got 39 subscribers. How strange. The Temple of Zeus was roped off, and this part (Daphni) of a three site World Heritage site was also closed. Taken on Tuesday 26/April/2016.

The Kaisariani Monastery (Greek: Μονή Καισαριανής) is an Eastern Orthodox monastery built on the north side of Mount Hymettus, near Athens, Greece.
The monastery was probably established in Byzantine times in ca. 1100, which is the date of construction of the surviving church (the monastery's katholikon). Nevertheless, the site has a far longer history as a cult center: in Antiquity, it was probably a site dedicated to Aphrodite, before being taken over by Christians in the 5th/6th centuries. Remains of a large early Christian basilica lie to the west, over which a smaller church was built in the 10th/11th centuries.

Μονή Οσίου Λουκά, η Αγιά Σοφιά της Ρούμελης | Hosios Loukas monastery UNESCO's World Heritage
Η Μονή Οσίου Λουκά του 11ου αιώνα , η Αγιά-Σοφιά της Ρούμελης είναι χτισμένη σε υψόμετρο 430 μ. στο Στείρι Βοιωτίας. Αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία της μεσοβυζαντινής τέχνης και αρχιτεκτονικής και περιλαμβάνεται στην κατάλογο μνημείων παγκόσμιας κληρονομιάς της UNESCO. Η ζωή του μοναστηριού από την ίδρυσή του μέχρι και σήμερα ταυτίζεται με την ιστορία του Ελληνικού Έθνους. Τους δύο πρώτους αιώνες της ύπαρξής της η Μοναστική κοινότητα αποτελούσε πηγή Χριστιανικής πίστης και θείας ευλογίας. Στην Επανάσταση του 1821 η Μονή έγινε το επαναστατικό ορμητήριο της Ρούμελης. Ο Δεσφινιώτης Ησαΐας, Δεσπότης Σαλώνων, ευλόγησε στις 27 Μαρτίου 1821 τα ρουμελιώτικα όπλα και κήρυξε επίσημα την Επανάσταση κατά των Οθωμανών. Το ιερό λείψανο του Οσίου Λουκά του Στειριώτη ιδρυτή της Μονής βρίσκεται στο μοναστήρι, όπου έφθασε το 1986 από την Βενετία και δεκάδες επισκέπτες από την Ελλάδα, και όχι μόνο, εισρέουν καθημερινά για να το προσκυνήσουν.

Η Μονή Οσίου Λουκά , η Αγιά-Σοφιά της Ρούμελης, είναι χτισμένη σε υψόμετρο 430 μ. στις δυτικές πλαγιές του όρους Ελικώνα στο Στείρι Βοιωτίας. Αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία της μεσοβυζαντινής τέχνης και αρχιτεκτονικής και περιλαμβάνεται στην κατάλογο μνημείων παγκόσμιας κληρονομιάς της UNESCO από κοινού με τα άλλα δύο σωζόμενα μοναστήρια της μεσοβυζαντινής περιόδου στην Ελλάδα, τη Νέα Μονή και τη Μονή Δαφνίου.
Αφιερωμένο τον Όσιο Λουκά τον Στειριώτη (29 Ιουλίου 896 - 7 Φεβρουαρίου 953 μ.Χ).
Το μοναστήρι του Οσίου Λουκά βρίσκεται σε γραφική πλαγιά του όρους Ελικώνα σε τοποθεσία όπου βρισκόταν άλλοτε ναός της Στειρίτιδας Δήμητρας και περιβάλλεται από οροπέδιο που καλύπτεται από ελαιώνα. Το φυσικό τοπίο δεν έχει αλλοιωθεί από οικιστική ή άλλη δραστηριότητα και διατηρεί την αυθεντικότητά του. Πληροφορίες για την ιστορία του μοναστηριού αντλούνται από τον βίο του Οσίου Λουκά, έργο ανωνύμου του 962 μ.Χ, και τις Ακολουθίες της Κοιμήσεως και της Ανακομιδής του λειψάνου του, πηγές που θεωρούνται αξιόπιστες κατά τους αρχαιολόγους. Σύμφωνα με τα στοιχεία αυτά, ιδρυτής της μοναστικής ζωής στη Μονή είναι ο ίδιος ο Όσιος, ο οποίος ασκήτευσε εκεί τα τελευταία επτά χρόνια της ζωής του (946-953). Είχε γεννηθεί στο Καστρί Φωκίδας το 896 από γονείς πρόσφυγες από την Αίγινα. Από νωρίς ακολούθησε το μοναχισμό και στα τέλη του 910 ή 911 βρίσκεται ως μοναχός στην Αθήνα, ύστερα σε διάφορα ησυχαστήρια της Φωκίδας και της αντίπερα κορινθιακής ακτής στο Κόρφο Κορινθίας. Οι μετακινήσεις του Οσίου υπαγορεύονταν από την απειλή των Βουλγάρων του Συμεών. Το 946/947 εγκαθίσταται στην τοποθεσία του σημερινού μοναστηριού και πεθαίνει το 953.
(Στοιχεία από την Βικιπαίδεια)
The Monastery of Hosios Loukas, Agia Sophia of Roumeli, is built at an altitude of 430 meters on the western slopes of Mount Helikon in Steiri, Viotia. It is one of the most important monuments of Middle Byzantine art and architecture and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the other two surviving monasteries of the Middle Byzantine period in Greece, the New Monastery and the Daphni Monastery.
Dedicated to Osios Loukas Steririo (29 July 896 - 7 February 953 AD).
The monastery of Hosios Loukas is situated on a picturesque hillside of Mount Helikon at a location where the Temple of Steritida Dimitra was once located and is surrounded by a plateau covered by an olive grove. The natural landscape is not altered by residential or other activity and preserves its authenticity. Information on the history of the monastery derives from the life of Hosios Loukas, an anonymous work of 962 AD, and the Sequences of the Dormition and the Remembrance of his relic, sources that are believed to be reliable by archaeologists. According to these figures, the founder of monastic life in the Monastery is the Savior himself, who practiced there during the last seven years of his life (946-953). He was born in Kastri Fokidas in 896 by refugee parents from Aegina. Early monasticism followed and at the end of 910 or 911 he was a monk in Athens, then in various retreats of Fokida and the opposite of the Corinthian coast in Corfu, Corinth. The movements of Hosios were dictated by the threat of the Bulgarians in Simeon. 946/947 is installed at the site of today's monastery and dies in 953.

TRIP TO ATHENS - GREECE
Athens (/ˈæθɨnz/;[1] Modern Greek: Αθήνα, Athína, IPA: [aˈθina], Katharevousa: Ἀθῆναι, Athine, Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athēnai), is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum,[2][3] it is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy,[4][5] largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent.[6] Today a cosmopolitan metropolis, modern Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece and it is rated as an Alpha world city.[7] In 2008, Athens was ranked the world's 32nd richest city by purchasing power[8] and the 25th most expensive[9] in a UBS study.
The Greek capital has a population of 655,780[10] (796,442 back in 2004)[11] within its administrative limits[12] and a land area of 39 km2 (15 sq mi).[13] The urban area of Athens (Greater Athens and Greater Piraeus) extends beyond the administrative municipal city limits, with a population of 3,074,160 (in 2011),[14] over an area of 412 km2 (159 sq mi).[13] According to Eurostat, the Athens Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) is the 7th most populous LUZ in the European Union (the 4th most populous capital city of the EU) with a population of 4,013,368 (in 2004).
The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by a number of ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, widely considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains a vast variety of Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of remaining Ottoman monuments projecting the city's long history across the centuries. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Landmarks of the modern era, dating back to the establishment of Athens as the capital of the independent Greek state in 1833, include the Hellenic Parliament (19th century) and the Athens Trilogy consisting of the National Library of Greece, the Athens University and the Academy of Athens. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it welcomed home the 2004 Summer Olympics.[15] Athens is home to the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, as well as the new Acropolis Museum.
The city of Athens contains a variety of different architectural styles, ranging from Greco-Roman, Neo-Classical, to modern. They are often to be found in the same areas, as Athens is not marked by a uniformity of architectural style. Many of the most prominent buildings of the city are either Greco-Roman or neo-classical in styling. Some of the neo-classical structures to be found are public buildings erected during the mid-19th century, under the guidance of Theophil Freiherr von Hansen and Ernst Ziller, and include the Athens Academy, Athens City Hall, Greek Parliament, Old Parliament (1875--1932) (Now the National Historical Museum),[50] University of Athens, and Zappeion Hall.
Beginning in the 1930s, the International style and other architectural movements such as Bauhaus and Art Deco began to exert an influence on almost all Greek architects, and many buildings both public and private were constructed in accordance with these styles. Localities with a great number of such buildings include Kolonaki, and some areas of the centre of the city; neighbourhoods developed in this period include Kypseli.
In the 1950s and 1960s during the vast extension and development of Athens, modern architecture played a very important role. The centre of Athens was largely rebuilt, leading to the demolition of a number of neoclassical buildings. The architects of this era employed materials such as glass, marble and aluminium, while some blended modern and classical elements. After World War II, internationally known architects to have designed and built in the city included Walter Gropius, with his design for the US Embassy, and, amongst others, Eero Saarinen, in his postwar design for the east terminal of the Ellinikon Airport.
Notable Greek architects of the 1930s--1960s included Konstantinos Doxiadis, Dimitris Pikionis, Pericles A. Sakellarios, Aris Konstantinidis and others.
Photos and video were taken with a Nikon COOLPIX P100, not the newer Nikon COOLPIX P500. But performance and features should be almost identical.
