After having venerated the pagan gods of Antiquity, two thousand years ago Greece chose to convert to Christianity. From that time forward monks undertook the construction of imposing monasteries hidden away in unusual spots like the edges of cliffs, volcanic islands, or inaccessible rocky summits. Travelers who choose to visit Mount Athos, the Meteoras or the Island of Patmos will not only live through a memorable mystical experience, but will dive head first into an unforgettable odyssey, leading to the heart of the Byzantine Empire.
Reviews
“Insightful… Combining scenic location footage, dramatic reenactments, and good narration, Greece: Journeys to the Gods examines Hellenic culture, the history of Crete, scientific efforts to preserve precious marble antiquities from acid rain, and the country’s fascinating historical embrace of both paganism and Christianity. Sure to be a very popular title with both travel and history buffs, this is definitely recommended. Three Stars. ” – Video Librarian
