Journeying further into Attica reveals the Tholos of Athena Pronaia—a remarkable sanctuary that exudes divine beauty. The Battle of Salamis comes alive as we envision Greek ships fiercely clashing against Persian forces, forever etching their triumph into our collective memory. Phaistos Disc—an enigmatic artifact from XV century BC Phaistos—unleashes mysteries waiting to be unraveled. Meanwhile, Daphni Monastery's Christ Pantocrator radiates spiritual serenity amidst lush surroundings. Witness how Surgeon William Maillard earned his Victoria Cross during Candia's turmoil through an awe-inspiring lithograph. Ares and Aphrodite grace us with their presence through timeless Greek artistry—symbolizing war and love entwined within humanity's essence.
