Athenian tradition that locals enjoy everyday Standing at the base of Acropolis 
history surrounded us in every   direction The Acropolis Museum is home

Simple and delicious We had an early night as we   had an exciting day trip to Hydra planned for the 
early morning From our window the acropolis stood   illuminated in golden light making the 
end of our first day in Athens memorable [Music] Early in the morning we made our way to Pira 
Sport for our trip to hydro Our ride for the   day a high-speed catamaran was waiting 
to take us across the Asia The fresh sea   breeze and excitement made waking up early 
worth it As we sailed Hydra slowly came into view Its charming harbor stone houses 
and colorful boats looked like a postcard   The smooth journey and the sound of 
the whips set the perfect mood for the day Hydra has no cars only 
donkeys for transport We were   greeted by these gentle animals waiting at the harbor The waterfront was full of energy Travelers

shore where people sat enjoying the slow pace of life Hydra’s whitewashed houses deep blue 
shutters and the stone pathways made it feel magical The island’s peaceful atmosphere free

filled with history adventure and discovery Today we left the bustling streets of 
Athens behind for an unforgettable road   trip through the Peloponyian Peninsula a land 
steeped in legends battles and architectural marvels Our journey took us along the scenic 
coastal highway once a vital route for ancient   traders and warriors offering stunning 
views of the Saroni Gulf on one side and   rugged mountain on the other Our first stop 
was at the Corinth Canal a man-made marble   that slices through the ismas of Corinth 
separating mainland from the Peloponyian Peninsula While the dream of cutting through the 
narrow strip of land dated back to 6th century   BC it was the Romans who first attempted 
the feat though it wasn’t completed until 1893 The 6.4 4 km long and 70 m deep canal 
flanked by towering limestone cliffs remains   a breathtaking site even if it is too 
narrow for modern cargo ships Instead   it serves a historic passage for 
smaller vessels and tourist cruises Leaving Corinth we travel back in time to Epidoras 
an ancient city renown for its healing sanctuary   dedicated to Asipius the god of [Music] medicine 
Epidurus is home to one of most famous and best   preserved theaters of ancient Greece a 4th century

test its brilliance Ourima stood at the center   and spoke in Bengali while I sat at the top row 
Every word carried effortlessly through the air [Applause] As we marveled at the theater we 
imagine the grand performances   festivals and ceremonies that walls 
echoed through these ancient stone seats From Epitor we continue to 
Nafleon a charming seaside   town with a storyried past as Greece’s

cobbled alleys and Venetian style   buildings create a postcard perfect 
settings steeped in history and romance Towering above Naple is the Palamidi 
fortress a Venetian built stronghold   that played a crucial role in Greek war of independence Down in the harbor boards 
a castle sitting on a small island   once protected the coastline from 
pirate invasion and novel attacks We took a break in Nafluan’s old 
town where we indulged in a plate   of lucumadis crispy honeys soaked Greek 
donuts and a frappe Greece’s famous iced coffee with The taste of sweet honey and 
strong coffee lingering we continue to   Myselia the legendary bronze age 
city of King Agamemnon leader of   the Greeks in the Trojan [Music] War 
We entered through the Lion’s Gate the   oldest surviving monument sculpture 
in Europe built over 3,200 years ago Walking among royal tombs ancient halls 
and secret passageways we imagine the   epic Myelian warriors traders and 
rulers who once roamed these lands [Applause] Standing at the top of the citadel of 
Msini we gazed over the argolic plains   picturing how this mighty kingdom 
flourished in the second millennium BC As the sunset we drove back to 
Athens reflecting on a day filled   with ancient wonders meats 
and breathtaking landscapes Just in time for sunset we reached Sintagna 
Square where we witnessed the changing of   the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier

of Acropolis for our one final visit   The Parthanon standing proudly under the

city and the modern city beyond was just stunning We climbed further and 
passed through the propelia the   grand entrance of the Acropolis 
[Applause] As we stepped through   these towering marble columns the view 
of Athens stretched endlessly beyond us From the Acropolis we look down at 
the temple of Haputus One of the best   preserved Greek temples nestled in the Greek 
ancient Agora The temple was dedicated to the   god of fire and craftsmanship standing 
the taste of time for over 2,400 years [Music] As we explored the Acropolis we came 
across scattered fragments of ancient   craftsmanship marble columns broken statues 
and remnant of what were once grand temples   Every piece told a story of destruction 
preservation and the passage of time From the highest point we could see the 
like a bitterest hill the highest peak   in Athens rising above the [Music] city
