I also went to Moni Dafniou, an 11th century restored monastery that was built in part with remnants of ancient sites from the surrounding area. The church was built along Nea Moni and Osios Loukas, two churches belonging to monasteries of the 11th century, one in Chios and the other in Boeotia that have been also restored.

The scenes from the mosaics are from the life of Christ.
