What makes The Top Delphi Greece Private Tour a unique experience ?
The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hosios Loukas Monastery (alongside the monasteries of Daphnion in Athens and Nea Moni in Chios island). Hosios Loukas was actually a military saint who prophesized the re-conquest of Crete.
The Hosios Loukas Monastery is one of the most important monuments of Middle Byzantine art and architecture founded on the 10th AD by monk Loukas.
The Monastery complex, set in a serene imposing natural environment, includes buildings and cells next to the two churches, a large collection of Byzantine sculptures and fantastic frescoes such as the top gold mosaic of the saint.
Next stop is the Delphi archaeological site and its Museum, our second UNESCO Site of this Delphi tour.
