Join your hosts Nerdrotic and Wandering Wolf on a seven day journey through Greece that traces the footsteps of philosophers, oracles, and Olympians, from the marble columns of the Acropolis to the wild landscapes of the Peloponnese. Expect golden afternoons in Athens, mountain roads to Delphi, and long Peloponnese drives that link some of the most storied sites in the Western world, each one still standing exactly where history left it.

Highlights come thick and fast: a guided walk through Plaka on the very first evening, and a full day exploring the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, and the Ancient Agora soon after. From there you’ll climb into the mountains to Delphi, once considered the centre of the ancient world, before heading south to step through the Lion Gate at Mycenae and test the famous acoustics of the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games in 776 BC, and the wine country of Nemea round out a Peloponnese leg few travellers ever see in a single trip.

This trip is built for travellers who want their history with a side of adventure, happy to swap a beach towel for a pair of walking shoes and a taste for ancient stories. It rewards the curious as much as the well read, whether you can recite Homer from memory or are meeting these stories for the first time. If temples, myths, and the birthplace of the Olympics have always called to you, this is the week to answer.
