@nomadpossum I remember seeing her for the first time at the basement of the museum where the conservation room was back in 2004. Magnificent indeed!

@LaBotaniste I think you meant Euphrasia 🙂

The Byzantine church of Agios Georgios is one of the most picturesque monuments on the island of Naxos 🇬🇷

Perched on a riverbank in the village of Melanes, there’s much more to this little church than meets the eye

How many archaeologists tall is this statue?

At 11.5m & 70 tonnes, the “Dionysus” of Apollonas would have been the largest statue in the ancient Greek world. The only problem…it never made it out of the quarry!

📍Naxos, Greece 🇬🇷

@histories_arch Just a small correction regarding the cave's name. It's called the Pitsa cave.

Vases? Poppy seedpods.

@GrecianGirly I find it difficult to call it Pavilion or Revelin (the name given by the previous tenants) for me it will always be "Touristiko"

@GrecianGirly 🤭 Self made road signs! A very familiar sight in the Greek roads!

Mélancolie des conditions de présentation (de détention ?) de la Caryatide au @britishmuseum…

Une pièce exiguë, contre un extincteur, encastrée dans la maçonnerie au pied d’une mezzanine, sur un carrelage des années 50…

Il nous semble presque l’entendre pleurer.

@GrecianGirly Yes that road to Amphithea needs some serious repairs.

@GrecianGirly I love visiting both villages!

Over the course of centuries, people from across the Greek world traveled to the Oracle of Dodona in Epirus and asked questions inscribed on lead tables.

More than 4,000 have been discovered and give a fascinating insight into what the people of #AncientGreece were thinking.

[Arys🏺🪶 @ArysPan]

The theatre in the Oracle at Dodona, built by Pyrrhus, Hellenistic king of Epirus during the 3rd century BC.

Initially dedicated to Mother Earth (Gaia- known as Dione) and later to Zeus and Dione, it was considered the oldest of the Greek oracles by the ancient Greeks.
