The Abridged Percy Jackson Experience

Duration: 4 Days / 3 Nights
The Temple of Poseidon, God of the seas and father of Percy

If you are a fellow Half Blood, we have great news for you! This season you can embark upon your own mythological adventure following the footsteps of Percy Jackson.

Your odyssey begins in Athens, where you will visit the Acropolis, the sight of the final battle in “Blood of Olympus”. You will then make your way through the places of worship of the old Gods, before you reinvent your roots in Cape Sounion, home to the Temple of Poseidon, God of the Seas and Percy’s father.

After you pay your respects, you will launch an expedition to the must-see places the Demigod himself set foot on. Discover the origins of the tremendous sorceress Medea in Ancient Corinth. Walk through Asclepius’ Healing Sanctuary in Epidaurus and witness the true power of the God behind Leo’s resurrection.

The Twelve may have been feasting on ambrosia, but traditional Greek cuisine is the next best thing. Don’t forget to explore new flavors during your journey. After all, even Demigods need to eat.
