The hustle and bustle of modern Athens; the shimmering ocean, olive groves, and charming villages that dot the Peloponnese coastline; the splendour and mystery that is Delphi; the fascination of Olympia - all these, and so much more, bring school groups back again and again to the "cradle of civilisation".
Athens
Although modern Athens is a busy and bustling international metropolis, the entire city is pervaded by a strong sense of history and of its classical past. Rising above the seeming tangle of streets and the alleys and courtyards of the old Plaka district, are the ancient, yet familiar buildings which dominate the Acropolis.
