Pick up from your hotel and we begin our day with a fascinating visit to the important Monastery of Osios Patapios. He is known for his many miracles helping people. Originally buried in the Church of St John the Baptist in Constantinople, his relic was brought later to the Geraneia mountains by other ascetics and sealed in a cave. The monastery has a breathtaking view to both Corinthian & Saronic Gulfs.
Then, explore a region of rare natural beauty in Blue Lake, an amazing lagoon located 3km east of cape Heraion.The most interesting fact about the lake is that it communicates with the waters of the Corinthian Gulf from a very narrow channel.
Afterwards, drive to the Cape Heraion where the ruins of the ancient settlement and of the famous Sanctuary of Hera are located. The location is really picturesque, with a beautiful small, natural harbor, and people swimming surrounded by antiquities !!! There you can admire the amazing,breathtaking sunset.
Early in the night, return to Loutraki
