Today, you’ll have a full-day guided tour of the center of the Ancient Greek world and the oracle’s site, Delphi. You’ll get a great insight into their world, discovering ancient ruins, including the amphitheater and the Temple of Apollo, followed by a museum tour and lunch (included).

Day threeAcropolis & Parthenon Tour + Cape Sounion Trip

Start the day off with a guided tour of the Acropolis, the ancient citadel, led by an experienced archeologist. 

You will explore the Theater of Dionysus, regarded by some as the birthplace of the performing arts, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a theater still in use from May to October, and enter the healing temple of Asclepius, the god of medicine. 

You will then enter the Parthenon and learn all there is to know about the famous temple and, finally, the Acropolis museum, where you’ll marvel at the collections of statues.

What next? Spend your evening watching the sun setting over the Aegean Sea on Cape Sounion, followed by a tour of the Temple of Poseidon, built in 440bc and dedicated to Poseidon, master of the sea. 

Day four Departure Day
