The doors were locked so we could not enter. But it is a nice view from the outside.

Mistra Ruins, perched on the mountain, accessed through narrow and winding poorly maintained roads, full of churches and monasteries. Although they are mostly destroyed, unfortunately. Our Evangelist is one of them. It is highly recommended to bring water in summer and a coat in winter. It goes without saying the need to wear protective sports shoes. There are parking spaces at both entrances, the first at the beginning of the city, at the foot of the mountain. A second, a third from the top and the king's palace. Admission costs 12 euros.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
