Grecian Odyssey

Price this tour
ItineraryReviewsIncludedPrice
Start planning

9 or 13 days

Athens, Corinth, Argolida region, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia region, Delphi, extension to Crete


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.

Due to national and/or religious holidays, some sites may be closed and your itinerary may be modified on the following dates in 2027: March 15, March 25, May 1 & 2. These dates fluctuate each year—please contact us for more information.
