Highlights of Athens, Cape Sounion, and Temple of Poseidon
Kick off your adventure on the first day by delving into the mythological wonders of Athens and visiting the stunning Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Your family-friendly guide will greet you and lead you to the starting point: Acropolis Hill.
As you ascend to the Acropolis, you'll quickly sense the excitement of the day ahead. Our guide, adept at engaging kids of all ages, will make the experience lively and enjoyable. They will share the history of the Acropolis and weave in fascinating Greek myths, leading you to the summit where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Athens.
At the top, the guide will point out key landmarks such as the Parthenon, providing historical insights and incorporating interactive games and quizzes to keep the kids entertained. After thoroughly exploring the site and capturing plenty of photos, you'll descend and head to your next stop: the Acropolis Museum.
Concerned that the Acropolis Museum might not captivate your kids? Fear not! This is one of Athens' most modern museums, and our guide will make it come alive with stories and historical context for the artifacts discovered at the Acropolis. The kids will gain a richer understanding of ancient Greece while enjoying quizzes and games. Plus, you'll learn that those famous Greek statues weren't just plain white!
The day's final highlight is the awe-inspiring Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Fans of Percy Jackson will recognize Poseidon as Percy's father and the Greek God of the Sea. This ancient temple, part of a sacred triangle with the Parthenon and another temple on a nearby island, dates back thousands of years.
The journey to Sounion is led by a professional English-speaking driver, offering you ample time and flexibility to savor the Athenian Riviera, stunning coastal views, and perhaps even a swim or a visit to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.
As the day winds down, find a serene spot to watch the sunset over the sea. The sunset at Cape Sounion is a magical experience, and it's easy to see why the ancient Greeks held this location in such high esteem.
Once the sun has set, you'll return to Athens and be escorted back to your hotel. It's been an exhilarating day, with more adventures awaiting you tomorrow!
Stay Overnight In: Athens
Visit the Oracle at Delphi
On the second day of your Greek mythology tour, you'll visit your second UNESCO World Heritage site: the Oracle at Delphi. Known as the navel of the ancient Greek world, Delphi was one of the most significant centers of ancient Greece.
After breakfast, you'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to Delphi, approximately two and a half hours away. Here, you'll spend the day exploring the site and its excellent museum with an experienced, kid-friendly guide.
As your guide leads you through Delphi, you'll learn that people traveled from great distances to seek the Oracle's prophecies. Before making crucial decisions about war, new colonies, or political matters, the Oracle's counsel was often sought.
Our guide will explain this and share many Greek myths connected to the Oracle and the site. Percy Jackson fans will recognize the Oracle from Rick Riordan's books, and now they'll understand its importance in ancient Greek culture.
The site features a stadium, several temples, and other archaeological remains, all set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Some visitors even claim they can still feel the magic in the air! Once you've finished exploring Delphi, it will be time to return to Athens.
The journey back will be filled with plenty to discuss, and we're confident your kids will have enjoyed every moment at Delphi!
