	Daphni	Byzantine Monastery on the way to Eleusis with arguably the most beautiful mosaics in Greece
	Eleusis	The sorry rubble of the once magnificent sanctuary of the Great Mysteries in a hopelessly polluted suburb of Athens. Included are several speculative texts on the puzzle of the content and ritual of the Mysteries.

	Sparta and Lakonia	Despite of their austere reputation, the Spartans were - like the Prussians - fat landowners in one of the richest valleys of Greece, They left little to posterity.
	Mystras	Mystras was the last capital of the Byzantine emperors in Greece. After them the Frankish Crusaders built a castle on its hill - where Goethe located the meeting of Helena and Faust... Today its many churches and murals are its special attraction.
	Monemvasia	The Greek Gibraltar on the Argive Gulf suffered a sequence of Byzantine, Venitian, Frankish, and Turkish owners each of whom contributed to its ruins.
	The Mani	Even today the Mani is one of the remotest places in Greece. A spine of forbidding mountains to which cling a chain of tower villages, which rival Svaneti and San Gimignano, and dozens of very old, delapidated Byzantine churches, some with priceless murals. On its west-coast Villehardouin built a fairy castle for one of his mistresses. The detailed guide given here is unique.
