Weekend in
GREECE
Greece is a country steeped in history and culture. Known as the cradle of Western civilization, Greece is famous for its stunning ruins, natural landscapes, and hospitality. From the Acropolis in Athens to the idyllic Aegean islands, every corner of this country tells a story that has endured throughout the ages.
“Greece is a country that has captivated me. Not only for its history and impressive architectural legacy, but also for the way it has managed to integrate the classical with the modern. From the ruins of the Acropolis to the bustling streets of Athens, the essence of ancient Greece harmoniously intertwines with contemporary life.”
DELPHI
Delphi is an archaeological site considered in ancient times to be the "navel of the world" or the center of the universe. Delphi is not only known for its stunning landscape but also for its deep connection to the mythology and religion of ancient Greece.
“Delphi is a magical place. Walking through the Temple of Apollo and feeling the energy of the place was a unique experience. It's like stepping back in time. It's easy to imagine how the ancient Greeks came here in search of answers and guidance, creating a deep connection with spirituality.”
Ancient Agora.
Located at the foot of the Acropolis, this square served as the political, commercial, and social center of the city-state, where citizens gathered to discuss civic affairs, participate in democracy, and engage in trade. It was a space where ideas flourished and where the democratic principles that have influenced the modern world were forged.
"The Ancient Agora is more than a square; it is a symbol of Athens' democratic spirit. Here, ideas intersected and citizens gathered to shape the destiny of their city."
