Halvdag
Om den här aktiviteten
Vineyards, olive trees, mountains and the coastline of European gulf surround the Sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia and the new Brauron Museum, an ideal destination for visitors seeking to discover a cultural gem outside Athens.
In antiquity, the sanctuary was an important cult center that played a key role in the religious life of Athenian women. It was believed to be the place where Iphigenia, daughter of Agamemnon, with the help of her brother Orestes, took refuge after escaping her intended sacrifice by her father before the Trojan War. Artemis’ cult was particularly important to women, since she was considered a protectress of childbirth. Athenian girls about 7-10 years old were sent to Brauron to serve as Artemis’ attendants, called arktoi.
Key highlights of this journey:
• Visit the archaeological site and museum of Brauron
• Free time by the sea

We really had a great experience with our tour guide and visiting a family owned winery. The tour was just my husband and I with our guide. After the tour at the Temple of Artemis in Brauron, our guide took us for a private tour and wine tasting at a family winery. The winery has been in their family since the 1600's! We were welcomed with open arms. We had a tour of the grounds and wine cellar under ground, our guide translated for us. Then we sat down at their table in the wine room for food and wine tasting. A few locals stopped by for wine and sat with us. One of the locals sat down and played his guitar and sang. We felt like part of the family! What a fantastic experience!!!
