Much of the mythology <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>surrounding Dionysus \u2013 god of wine and ecstasy, and Herakles\u2019 doomed labour to Mt.Olympus <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>took place right here. These plains bore witness to countless battles that shaped the very nature <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of Greece itself. We will pass through Thebes and its neighbouring towns Levadia and Arachova <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>as we travel to Delphi for the ancients, the Omphalos, the \u201cnavel\u201d, or centre, of the world. As you <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>stand here, on the slope of Mt.Pernassus, the sight before you is awe inspiring. Behold the Sacred <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Way, the theatre, and the great treasury of the Athenians \u2013 built with the spoils from the victory <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>over the Persians at the battle of Marathon, and finally, take in the glory of the Temple of <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Apollo.Our expert guide will breathe life into these ancient stones and the role they played long <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ago.
