HERAION (Ancient sanctuary) SAMOS
Many civilizations have inhabited this small Aegean island, near Asia Minor, since the 3rd millennium B.C. Remains of Pythagoreion, an ancient fortified port with Greek and Roman monuments and its spectacular tunnel-aqueduct, as well as the temple of Heraion, sanctuary of the Samian Hero, can still be seen.
NEA MONI (Monastery) CHIOS
Monasteries of Daphni, Hossios Luckas, and Nea Moni of Chios
Although geographically distant from each other, these three monasteries
(the first is in Attica, near Athens, the second in Phocida near Delphi, and the
third on an island in the Aegean Sea, near Asia Minor) belong to the same typological
series and share the same aesthetic characteristics. The churches are built on
a cross-in-square plan with a large dome supported by squinches defining an octagonal
space. In the 11th and 12th centuries they were decorated with superb marble works
as well as mosaics on a gold background, all characteristic of the 'second golden
age of Byzantine art'.
