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.

Once you pay your respects, you will set your base at Nafplion and from there launch an expedition to all the must-see places the Demigod himself set foot on. Listen to the Great Prophecies that set Percy’s adventures in motion in the Oracle of Delphi. 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. To cap it all off, the one-day trip to Ancient Olympia will transport you back in time, to the deadly Olympic Games where Percy and his friends faced Nike.

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.

    Your guide will meet you at your hotel in order to start your private walking Athens sightseeing tour. In the heart of the capital, you will stop on some of the most important monuments in Athens, including the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, Hadrian’s Arch and the National Gardens. Continue to climb up the Acropolis, and of course the Parthenon, the setting of the major battle in “Blood of Olympus”. Finally, visit the place where at last the statues found their home and admire the wonders of the classical era: the New Acropolis museum.

This temple devoted to Percy’s own father, overlooking the Saronic Gulf, will certainly awaken memories of the ‘Lightning Thief’.

  • Day 3 – Full day Delphi
    After breakfast we will meet you at your hotel and get started on a trip to Delphi, the ‘navel of the ancient world’. Drive through the fertile plain of Beotia, crossing the towns of Thebes, whose gates were guarded by the Sphinx, the same monster that Percy, Annabeth and Grover run into in ‘The Battle of the Labyrinth’. Arrive at Delphi, home to the famous Oracle, whose prophecies have set multiple stories in motion in the Riordan series. On the slopes of Mount Parnassus, in a landscape of unparalleled beauty, lie the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios. Learn about the mythology surrounding the Olympian God, who is a central figure in ‘The Titan’s Curse’.

    Meals: Breakfast
  • Day 4 - Arrival in Nafplion (through Ancient Corinth & Epidaurus) 
    Your tour today will take you far from Athens as you drive southwest to the Corinth Canal, where a short stop for photographs is in order. Shortly after you will continue to visit Ancient Corinth where Media, the sorceress from ‘The Lost Hero’, lived according to Greek mythology. The remains of the city, which include the Agora and Apollo's Temple show the wealth and importance of Corinth during the time of the Olympians. A short stop at the sites of the ancient port of Kehries, will conclude the visit. On the road once more to reach the Theater of Epidaurus, famous for its remarkable acoustics, where you can also find the Healing Sanctuary of Asclepius. The famous healer’s potions play in important role in ‘The Blood of Olympus” as we all know! Afterwards, you will proceed to the town of Nafplion where you will get some well-earned rest.
    Overnight: Nafplion
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 5 - Arrival at Olympia (through Mycenae)
    Depart around noon for Mycenae and visit the archaeological site upon entering the Lions Gate before proceeding to visit the Tomb of Agamemnon. According to Greek mythology, the king of Mycenae was Perseus, which as you are undoubtedly aware, served as the inspiration for Percy Jackson himself! Percy follows many of the adventures of the Mycenaean king throughout the series. After you’ve witnessed the roots of Riordan’s inspiration come to life, head to Olympia, the cradle of the Olympic Games, passing through the Central Peloponnese and the towns of Tripolis and Megalopolis. Excitement is abound, as the events of the deadly Olympic Games from ‘Blood of Olympus’ must surely come to mind!
    Overnight: Olympia 
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 6 – Return to Athens
    In the morning visit the Archaeological Site with the Sanctuary of Olympian Zeus, the Ancient Stadium and the Archaeological Museum. You will have a few hours of free time in the town of Olympia before departing and driving through Tripolis and Corinth. The canal in Corinth is a true feat of human engineering that would make the Olympian Gods themselves jealous. Return to Athens early in the evening with plenty of time to do some last minute souvenir shopping.
    Overnight: Athens
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 7 – Departure from Athens
