Delphi breathed her enigmatic ‘words’. Hotel: Amalia. (BB,D)
DAY 2 –
ATHENS SIGHTSEEING Your sightseeing tour this
morning delves deep into the glorious history of Athens. Highlight
of the tour, of course, is a visit to the Acropolis, still
dominating the frantic bustle of modern Athens with its serene
presence. Admire the Parthenon, built to the honour of the
goddess Athena and still amazing in its grace, despite the
loss of the Elgin Marbles. Then see the Temple of Zeus and
Hadrian’s Arch. Why not join your fellow travellers for a
night out with dinner and entertainment? (BB)

the ‘bread basket of ancient Greece’, and head for the amazing
