Just along the coast from Monaco at Beaulieu-sur-Mer is the fascinating Villa Kérylos. It's a perfect reconstruction of a luxurious Greek palace dating from 2 B.C. and modelled on those found on the island of Delos. It's the only villa of its kind in the world.A great day out is to visit Villa Kérylos in the morning and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its glorious gardens at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in the afternoon. The second photo here was taken just outside the Villa Ephrussi, looking down on Villa Kérylos.
Do come back - tomorrow we'll start to look around.
Julie, Glenda and I visited Villa Kerylos when we were in Monaco in 2002. It has a spectacular location and is a gem on the inside. I am looking forward to your photos.
