Greece: The Peloponnese and the Island
of Poros
A land steeped in mythology and legend, Greece has captured the minds and hearts
of artists and writers for centuries. The magic of this ancient land is yours
to discover as you immerse yourself in the towns of the scenic Peloponnese region
and the ancient capital of Athens. Meander along the winding streets of Patras;
make the pilgirmage to Delphi to seek advice from Pythia, the most famous oracle
of the ancient world; and travel back in time to the first Olympic Games in Olympia.
Explore the remains of the palace at Mycenae. Marvel at the theater in Epiauros,
whose acoustics are still so superb that a whisper on stage carries all the way
to the top of its perfectly preserved seating. Enjoy the charm of the small town
of Poros and the cosmopolitan city of Hydra. Finally, discover the priceless
treasures of Athens, from the remains of the Acropolis to the fashionable Plaka
district.
