Olympia Stand on the site of the first Olympic Games on your excursion to Olympia. Ancient myth attributes Hercu-les with founding the Ancient Olympic Games nearly 2,800 years ago. Hercules is also credited with es-tablishing the tradition of holding competitions every four years between Greek city-states. See where the original Olympic athletes displayed physical strength and endurance as a way to honor and entertain the gods of Mount Olympus—especially Zeus. Today, the Olympic flame remains lit by a reflection of sunlight at the restored stadium in Olympia. Be sure to peruse the Olympia Archaeological Museum, which houses bronze, terracotta and sculptured artifacts related to the Olympic Games and their history.

Delphi Visit the archeological site and museum centered around the Oracle of Delphi, one of the most impor-tant landmarks of antiquity. The philosopher Socrates claimed to consult with the Oracle here and ancient military leaders left offerings in the hopes of earning luck in battle. Ponder the mysteries that lie in your future as you climb the ruins of the Temple of Apollo. According to legend, this is where the god chose to communicate with mortals. See a variety of artifacts dating back to 550 B.C. at the Delphi Museum, and learn more about the mythical past of Greece.

Athens Discover the ancient city named for Athena, goddess of war and wisdom. Your local guide will lead you up to the Acropolis to view the Parthenon, perhaps the world’s greatest architectural feat. See the Temple of Athena Nike, which once housed a gold statue of the goddess, her wings clipped to prevent her from deserting the city. Snap a picture of the Presidential Guard in traditional costume, then, pass the stadium that hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896. A walking tour will take you by Hadrian’s Arch and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, built in 515 B.C. to honor the most powerful of all Greek gods.
