9 days
Athens, Corinth, Argolida, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, extension to Greek Islands & Turkey

What is it like to live in a country where classical mythology and ancient history still have a presence in everyday life?

In the capital of Athens, namesake of the goddess Athena, walk in the footsteps of ancient Greeks at the Acropolis - and in the footsteps of current residents in the Plaka district. In Delphi, Epidaurus and Cape Sounion, learn how an old belief in mythological figures still influences medicine, politics and philosophy.
