Byzantine Secrets of Athens

The guidebook is divided into six main parts, organised geographically. They take the travellers on six walking and hiking adventures around Athens. Each walk will offer you a chance to admire the most impressive Byzantine churches of the city. During these strolls, you will understand their deeper historical and architectural context. Naturally, these monuments are the work of thousands of people – master builders, sculptors, painters, and masons – and they have served the needs of the Athenian population over the centuries. Thus, the book also tells the stories of some of these individuals, such as priests, monks, scholars, and artists. The guidebook is richly illustrated with photos of the described buildings and exhibits. There are also plans showing the location of the sights visited during each of the six suggested tours of Athens.
