Hi John,
it is not a matter of sun how many sundials you will find in a country but of
culture.
130 Graeco-Roman dials you will find in the Greek magazines- you will not see
many of them in the museums.
In Byzantine times the interest in sundials got lost. They had them only in
monastries and
The sundial in Epidauros in Greece that you can see at the website of
Karlheinz on http://www.antike-sonnenuhren.de/fotosaltepidavos.htm
has Japanese inscriptions: the signs for the four wind directions and
the twelve (chinese) zodiacal signs as ornaments.

Hi Derek:
I'm not an expert on Greek sundials, but over the years, I've tried using
Google to find dials there, without much luck. Either there are not many
Greek dials, or there are not many Greek sundial websites, or both. If this
is true, it's a shame, because with all those white buildings

Len,
Thanks for your response to my request. I visited the "Tower" on my last trip to Greece ten years ago and am anxious to see if any restoration has been done, perhaps in connection with next year's Olympics.

Hi,
I know of two sundials in Greece. One is at the
YMCA square in Thessaloniki but it doesn't have the gnomon. The other is inside

I need help. Does anyone know of sundials in Greece, particularly Northern Greece. On my last trip - ten years ago - I used Gibbs' "Greek and Roman Sundials" but couldn't find any in the places we visited; I did however come across a horizontal dial in a large park in Athens.
Thanks
Bob Haselby asked about sundials in Greece. I thought some others might be
interested in the following information.
Probably the best resource for Greek Sundials is the book by Sharon Gibbs,
Greek and Roman Sundials. It includes a catalog with locations for most
of the existing dials. There
There seem to be surprisingly few dials in Greece. The Tower of the Winds
in Athens (refer to an article by Charles Aked about this in a BSS Bulletin
of some time ago) is a very damaged but historically very significant
mutlifaceted dial edifice. There is also one modern dial there as far
