Cyrene

Excursion to the magnificent Greek city of Cyrene, founded in the 6^th century BC by immigrants from the Greek island of Thera. The city reached its zenith in the 4^th century BC, was ruled by the Ptolemies from the 3^rd century BC and fell under Roman rule in the 1^st century CD. Two major earthquakes in the 3^rd and 4^thcenturies AD sealed its fate.

Amongst the sites visited in Cyrene are the colossal Temple of Zeus, larger than the Parthenon in Athens, the hillside Necropolis containing over 2000 tombs, the Forum, the monumental passageway of Hermes and Hercules, House of the High Priest Jason Magnus, the House of the Christian Hesychius, the Agora (with its Tomb of Battus, Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore and Naval Monument), the Sanctuary of Apollo containing the Temple of Apollo and the Roman Baths, and the Amphitheatre.
