Overview

This immersive tour will take you to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each offering a unique perspective on ancient Greek civilization.
Begin your journey at Thermopylae, the narrow pass where, in 480 BC, a small band of Spartan warriors, led by King Leonidas, heroically defended Greece against the vast Persian army.
Afterwards, travel to Delphi, the seat of oracle Pythia where she delivered prophecies to those seeking her wisdom. Discover the treasures of the Athenians, the famous temple of Apollo and the ancient sanctuary of Athena.
Throughout your tour, you'll gain a profound understanding of the bravery and resilience of the Spartans and the enduring legacy of Delphi as a center of spiritual and intellectual life in the ancient world.
