Travelogue-Saint Luke, Stiri Boeotia. -Οδοιπορικό-Όσιος Λουκάς, Στείρι Βοιωτίας .
One of the best preserved byzantine monasteries in Greece, is the byzantine monastery of Hosios Loukas in Boeotia, Greece. The Monastery, located near the village of Distomo on the hills of Helicon mountain, has survived many generations since its foundation by the hermit St. Loukas in 953 A.D. Apart from being among the few monasteries that survived more than 1000 years, the architecture of the monastery as well as its frescoes are unique. It is by far, a magical journey into history and in times where art and culture flourished.
