Miles</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/martin-m-miles/55530091759/" title="Hosios Loukas"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55530091759_f0588993c0_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Hosios Loukas" /></a></p> <p><br /> <br /> <br /> The monastery of Hosios Loukas was founded in the early 10th century AD by the hermit, Venerable Luke of Steiris, whose relics are kept in the monastery to this day. A church dedicated to Saint Barbara, which forms the core of the present-day church, was likely built during his lifetime.<br /> <br /> The monastery derived its wealth from the fact that the relics of St. Luke were said to have exuded a sort of perfumed oil which produced healing miracles. Pilgrims were encouraged to sleep by the side of the tomb in order to be healed. <br /> <br /> At the heart of the monastery complex lie two interconnected churches: the Katholikon and, on slightly higher ground and adjoining to the northeast, the more modest Theotokos Church.<br /> <br /> The Katholikon, the main church dedicated to Saint Luke and dating from 1011, represents a type of church that was new at the time. This elongated rectangular structure is a cross-in-square domed church, a style otherwise characteristic of medieval Armenian architecture. <br /> <br /> Alongside the large monastery complex, there are also small chapels.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/captainmartini/">Captain Martini</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/captainmartini/55529759939/" title="Syros, Greece - IMG_3054"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55529759939_0526c57232_m.jpg" width="240" height="111" alt="Syros, Greece - IMG_3054" /></a></p> <p>Approaching Ermoupoli - the City of Hermes - and the medieval hilltop town of Ano Syros, with the Catholic Cathedral of St George (13th century) as well as the Church of the Resurrection of Christ (1874) just visible on the other hill.<br /> <br /> The 29m Tug 'Megalochari VIII' of 1998 is in attendance (IMO 9199440).<br /> <br /> The white motor yacht in the harbour is 'Satemi' built by Damen Yachting (Netherlands) in 2024. 60m sleeps 12 with 14 crew.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sebastiagiralt/">Sebastià Giralt</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sebastiagiralt/55529270805/" title="Columna caiguda, Temple de Zeus / Fallen column, Temple of Zeus, Nemea"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55529270805_5d749e086b_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Columna caiguda, Temple de Zeus / Fallen column, Temple of Zeus, Nemea" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sebastiagiralt/">Sebastià Giralt</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sebastiagiralt/55529270800/" title="Temple de Zeus / Temple of Zeus, Nemea (1)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55529270800_e096488ea4_m.jpg" width="240" height="154" alt="Temple de Zeus / Temple of Zeus, Nemea (1)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/sebastiagiralt/">Sebastià Giralt</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sebastiagiralt/55529270785/" title="Maqueta del santuari de Nèmea / Model of the sanctuary of Nemea"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55529270785_ef16f1329f_m.jpg" width="240" height="147" alt="Maqueta del santuari de Nèmea / Model of the sanctuary of Nemea" /></a></p>
