Olympia is easily accessible from other areas of interest of Greece. It is less than 4 hours away from Athens and only 1 hour from Patras port, or Kalamata Airport.

They can also have the option of taking part in activities such as walking along the promenade, and sports such as biking, rafting, kayak, kite- surf, etc. By Anthe Mitrakos Located on the Southwestern part of Mount Parnassos in Central Greece is the ancient city of Delphi, famous for its oracle and the Temple of Apollo, among other features. In ancient times, the site was a major area of worship for Apollo, the god of the sun and music. In Greek mythology, it is said that Apollo slew Python, a dragon dwelling at the center of the earth, located at Delphi. Hence, Delphi has been named the “omphalos tis gis,” or the “navel of the earth,” as it was considered by the ancients. Inside the Delphic temple was the seat of Pythia, priestess at the Temple of Apollo and the most famous oracle in Ancient Greek history. Inscribed in the Temple are several statements including the famous “gnothi seauton,” or “know thyself.” Aside from the Temple, Delphi’s ancient site includes a theater, gymnasium, the Athena Pronoia Sanctuary, a restored Athenian treasury, and the Tholos, a circular building with three restored Doric columns. Among other sights, the Tholos is the most popular monument on Delphi’s grounds. In addition to hosting the most celebrated oracle in ancient times, Delphi was also a major center for athletics. Athletes from around Greece would gather at Delphi every four years to compete in the Pythian Games, one of four PanHellenic games which included the Nemean, Isthmian, and the most popular of all time, Olympic games. After having been raided by Romans, what was left of the site, including temples, statues, and art, were later destroyed by Christians in an attempt to override ancient Greek practice. Delphi then became the site of Kastri, a village that was destroyed in an earthquake and then relocated, making way for excavations that lead to the discovery of the ancient grounds and various artifacts. Today, the remains of Delphi are one of Greece’s more popular tourist attractions.

METEORA. BY THE REV. A. H. CRUICKSHANK. PLATES II. AND III. A VISIT to the monasteries of Meteora is easier now than in 1834, when Curzon, escorted by a party of " klephts," reached them from the North. One feels, in reading the account of his rapid passage from Corfu to the valley of the upper Peneus and back again, that it was touch and go in those days. Now the traveller can approach Meteora by the railway, the chief outward and visible sign of improvement in the region assigned to Hellas by the Treaty of Berlin. To any one who has the time to spare I can strongly recommend a week in Thessaly, as it contains several objects of first-rate interest, and is in many respects unlike the rest of Greece. The population is largely Wallachian, and their bronzed shaggy faces suggest the uncomfortable thought, that the veneer of civilisation is even thinner than elsewhere in these parts.

  • Advisory Body Evaluation (IUCN)
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION - IUCN SUMMARY 455: METEORA GROUP OF MONASTERIES Summary prepared by IUCN (April 1988) based on the original nomination and summary submitted by the Government of Greece. This original and all documents presented in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the committee. 1. LOCATION : Situated in the district of Thessaly, prefecture of Trikala, province of Kalambaka, to the east of the Pindos mountains. The monasteries lie on the south-facing slopes of the Andikhasia mountains, just north of the E87 between Ioannina and Larisain, in the upper valley of the Pinios river, l,-2 kms north of Kalabaka and c. 25 kms north-north-west of Trikkala. The site is some 2-3 kms south-east to north-west and 1.5 kms at its widest point (including the village of Kastraki) giving an approximate area of 375 ha. The Important Bird Area (as defined in EEC legislation) and centred on the site covers some 14,OOOha. 39O 45’N, 21° 37’E. 2. --JURIOICIAL DATA: The area is apparently protected by legislative provisions including protective status for the village of Kastraki, although exact details are not provided. Meteora is part of a larger site, called Antikhassia Ori and Me teora , which is identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) as defined by EEC legislation, 3. EDENTIFICATION: The monasteries are built on rock pinnacles, called ‘Meteora’, of deltaic origin and comprised of brown sandstone which rise over 400m above the Thessalian plain. Chemical analysis and geological evidence suggests that the pinnacles were created some 60 million years ago in the Tertiary period, emerging from the cone of a river and further transformed by earthquakes.

I am not referring to the ecclesiastical procedures, but the personal, the individual attributes that qualify one as a saint. On the Sunday after Pentecost, we are called to give our attention to building up the Body of Christ – The Church by becoming “saints”! Responding to the interests of many people, the Rev. Fr. Jon Magoulias and I are blessed to announce that we are planning a pilgrimage from October 12 – 26, 2015 entitled: “Saints Alive”! This experience will take us to some of the most famous and revered sites of our Christian Orthodox Faith. It will enable us to learn the lives of saints who were people just like us and journeyed through life to give glory to God. We will visit Constantinople and the Ecumenical Patriarchate where the relics of many saints are venerated; we will travel to Trabzon (Trebizon) on the Black Sea (known as Pontus) to visit sites that have been only been opened to us in recent years. At Trabzon we will visit the famous monastery of Panaghia Soumela, along with other churches and museums. Today the monastery's primary function is as a tourist attraction. It overlooks forests and streams, making it extremely popular for its aesthetic attraction as well as for its cultural and religious significance. As of 2012, the Turkish government has been funding restoration work, and the monastery is enjoying a revival in pilgrimage from Greece, the USA and Russia.
