We invite you to join us on this journey through classical Greece! Long ago, the ancient poets wrote the first epics of war and love, families and feuds, trickery and revenge, Gods and Heroes.
Here, in glorious Greece, you’ll see where theater was born, consult the oracle at Delphi, stand where St. Paul preached to the Corinthians, and walk under the Lion Gate at Mycenae, just as the blind poet Homer recorded it nearly 3,000 years ago. Our first stop is the small fishing village of Tolo, an ideal base from which to explore much of “Classical Greece.”
Visits will include the theater at Epidavros and ancient Mycenae, famous for The Iliad. We’ll cross the Gulf of Corinth, stopping in the ancient city for a visit, and travel back in time to Delphi where the most famous oracle in ancient Greece was consulted. In Athens, we’ll visit the Acropolis, explore the National Museum, soak up the city’s history, and sample food and nightlife in the Plaka, the old section of the city.
We’ll end our adventure with an optional extension for three nights on the island of Crete, home to the ancient Minoan civilization. We’ll visit the Palace of Knossos, home of the Minotaur, and explore the island from Zeus’ birthplace to the charming resort town of Agios Nikolaos.
