THE CONVENT OF DAPHNE ON THE SACRED WAY (SEE PAGE 6l/) 



Near the pass in the low hill that lies between Athens and the blue bay of Eleusis to the 

 northwest is this old convent, eight centuries old and fallen into decay, which links the architec- 

 ture of Byzantium with the Attic environment. Inside are some fine old Byzantine mosaics 

 and from the altar screen hang votive offerings from those who have found relief from their 

 afflictions.
