Hiera Hodos [ethe Sacred Road)

I. Tsirighoti - Drakotou

The ancient road connecting Athens with Eleusis was named Hiera Odes. because the procession of the Eleusinian Mysteries celebrated in honour of Demeter and Persephone - followed its route. Along teh Hiera Hodos there was a multitude of sanctuaries, various monuments and graves, from which very few have survived until today.
