During this outdoors tour (*we don’t enter any site), we’ll try to make some sense out of the ancient Greek religion and see how the ‘Twelve Gods’ and Greek mythology came to be the most influential in the world!
Among others, we’ll talk about the only human that ever visited the home of the Gods, a murderer who founded mankind's only universal event, someone who gave peacocks their special look, a god that could swallow lovers, someone who made a mother kill her son and the one who’s responsible for the most messed-up and ‘most R-rated’ myth you have never heard!
This stunning building will give us the chance to talk especially about the stories of Athena and Apollo as well as the most important philosophers of the 5th century BC.
At yet another 19th century masterpiece we will talk about the Amazons and the most incredible myth involving the goddess of hunting Artemis.
The Hellenic Parliament with the Presidential Guards is just the right place to talk about important symbols of ancient Greece.
The ancient Greek religion was all about nature! And here we will find out how important the animals were for the Greek gods and the people...
The stadium of the first modern Olympic Games is definitely the perfect place in Athens to talk about how those... naked Games began!
One of the city's most romantic locations will be the backdrop for mythology's ultimate love story!
The naughty king of the Twelve Gods will show us how and why Greece really is the beginning of Europe itself...
The old town features a unique monument for the god of wine, Dionysus, whom you definitely wouldn't want to mess with!
Greece's most famous hill hosted the most signigicant battle in the life of Athena, who overshadowed other male gods, including Poseidon and Ares, who was war-shipped in the adjacent hill. (if you book with an Acropolis visit)
Even the gods needed to rest at some point; their drink was the nectar but ours could be a delicious cup of coffee.
