To understand Greece, there may be no better place to begin than Athens. 🇬🇷
This past May, one of our group journeys began here, where the ancient world isn’t something you simply learn about. It’s all around you.
Inside the Acropolis Museum, the group got a closer look at the artistry and craftsmanship behind ancient Athens, from marble and pigments to sculpture and artifacts that have endured for centuries.
Then, up to the Acropolis itself. The Parthenon rising overhead. The Caryatids of the Erechtheion. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus carved into the hillside. And from above, Athens stretching out in every direction.
But some of our favorite glimpses are the ones in between: an artist painting along a quiet street, tables set beneath jasmine and bougainvillea, and time to simply take in the city between its monuments.
A glimpse into the first days of a group journey through Greece this past May, beginning in Athens before continuing beyond the city. ✨
