Five thousand years of history have obviously left a mark on the Greek landscape… and the appeal of archaeological and historical tours is no mystery! A must-visit is the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, one of the greatest museums in the world, containing the world’s richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity, such as the Lutist from the Cycladic collection and the erroneously named mask of Agamemnon in the Mycenean collection.  Explore the Acropolis of Athens (considered the most important heritage of the Classical period) and its Parthenon temple, an architectural wonder of ancient times.

Visit Delphi, the most important oracle of ancient Greece, and unrivaled as an ancient place of influence.  See the sites of Olympia, the important sanctuary dedicated to Zeus, where excavations include the temples of Zeus and Hera, and the stadium that housed the ancient Olympic Games where all “civilized” cities gathered to participate in athletic competitions and cultural festivals.  Visit the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus as well as the perfectly preserved Epidaurus theater.

Visit the Sacred Island of Delos near Mykonos, one of the most important Pan-Hellenic sanctuaries (and the mythological birthplace of Apollo).
