Our Epic Athens walk is an experiential retreat that focusses on the Greek Mythology and Classic Athens Era (since Athens is an open air Museum) combining the modern Athens life and how these two eras, the classic with the modern can bring into light the divine element of every single person, as the Ancient Greeks believed and created the most amazing values of life like democracy, mythology, theatre, astronomy, science, mathematics, philosophy and many many more.
During this tour, our guests become part of the experience and together we travel back in time in an inspiring walk that will make you see Greece differently...
