The site of Delos island and the Byzantine church of Daphni, both World Heritage Sites, will be provided with funding under the EU’s NSRF funds for 2014-2020, phase 2, the Finance Ministry said on its web page, ANA reports.
Delos will be granted 4.5 million euros from public funds to restore antiquities as well as the museum complex, create visitor walkways, and produce information brochures, among others. The site has been inhabited at least since 2,500 BC.
The Daphni monastery church, constructed in the 11th century AD northwest of Athens, will receive 1.2 million euros to strip later additions, restore the surrounding area, prepare information brochures and hold a one-day conference to present the project.
