  • Epidavros- Visit the remarkable remains of 4th-century BC Greek theatre, learning about the archeology and history of Greek theater.
 
  • Meteora- Towering rock formations jutting out from Central Greece topped by 14th-century Eastern Orthodox monasteries. The landscape helped to shape the people while the people shaped the landscape themselves.

  • Sparti-Mystras- The remains of the ancient city-state of Sparta, acclaimed for its military might and key role in Ancient Greek history. Today the landscape is covered is olive grove, panoramic views, and breathtaking scenery.
