For families seeking an immersive experience that showcases all that Greece has to offer, Adventures by Disney's "Greece: Mythology of Athens, Peloponnese & Rhodes" is the perfect choice. This unique journey allows families to explore ancient civilizations while enjoying the magic of a Disney vacation.

The adventure begins in Athens, often referred to as the cradle of Western civilization. This vibrant city is not only the capital of Greece but also a treasure trove of ancient history. A major highlight of the trip is a guided tour of the iconic Acropolis, where guests can marvel at the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. With expert Disney guides leading the way, travelers will gain insights into the myths and legends that have shaped Athens over the centuries. Additionally, guests will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity by painting a pre-made pottery piece to take home as a lasting memento of their travels. 

After exploring Athens, the journey continues to Mycenae and Nafplio. Travelers will visit the Corinth Canal, a remarkable engineering feat that connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea. They will also explore the citadel of Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that serves as the backdrop for many classic Greek myths. Guests can climb to the top of the citadel, where the royal palace once stood, for breathtaking views of the valley below.

For those interested in experiencing farm-to-table Greek cuisine, the itinerary includes a visit to a local organic farm that still employs centuries-old farming methods to cultivate its produce. After touring the farm, guests can participate in an interactive cooking class, where they will learn to make their own orange cookies. The experience will culminate in a family-style meal featuring their freshly baked creations.

Relaxation is a key part of the journey, with a day trip to Epidaurus included. Travelers can unwind in a beach chair and enjoy a leisurely day by the shore. For those seeking more adventure, there will be an opportunity to kayak through the submerged ruins of the Sunken City of Epidaurus and snorkel above ancient streets and structures located just seven feet below the water’s surface.

The final leg of the journey takes guests to the stunning island of Rhodes. Guests will explore the charming Old Town of Rhodes, one of Europe’s largest and best preserved fortified cities, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While in Rhodes, guests can navigate the narrow walkways of Lindos, a hillside town adorned with whitewashed buildings. Here, they can hike up to the Acropolis of Lindos, one of the three original cities of Rhodes. Afterward, guests will board a traditional Greek boat and sail into the Mediterranean Sea, stopping in a picturesque cove for a refreshing dip.
