The Zappeion (Ζάππειον Μέγαρο) is a building in the National Gardens of Athens, generally used for meetings and ceremonies, both official and private. This card is old and battered, but the stamp and postmark are there on the front even if there is no message or address on the back. Grade: 3

Delphes, Hotel Castalia

Price: $4.00

Kalavrita Railway Station, Coach 131
Actually “recently renovated” coach 131, though the card does not necessarily make it look so. Mailed in 2021, with two stamps (and one is of a train engine) and two postmarks, this is a “prepaid postcard” by Hellenic Post. Grade: 1

Monastery of Daphni
Unused, B&W real-photo card, unusually with no printing at all on the reverse. As for the monastery, we’re told: “The Daphni Monastery was founded towards the end of the sixth century A.D. on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo which had been desecrated by the Goths in 395. The Sanctuary of Apollo was built in the Ionic style using the thinnest and smallest columns. One of the four Ionic columns of the ancient Sanctuary of Apollo remains at the site … The other columns were taken to London by Thomas Bruce, Earl of Elgin (best-known for taking the Parthenon Marbles). The columns, column bases, and column tops from the Sanctuary of Apollo are currently in the possession of the British Museum; they are not on display but can be seen on the museum’s website. The first monastery on the site was constructed in the style of a castle with a basilica in the middle…” Grade: 2
