Join Phil Cousineau on a a journey three thousand years back in time to the roots of classical Greece and forward to the modern Mediterranean of magnificent land and seascapes, splendid museums, and sublime cuisine, as we explore the myriad mysteries of the Glory that was and is Greece.
Join us in October 2025 for our exploration of the Greek Mysteries. Relive the ancient stories and timeless art that reveals the roots of Western civilization, woven together with the vibrant culture and hospitality of contemporary Greek people. Our time together will combine daily discussions, conversations, contemplative time, museum and site visits, and special guest appearances by modern Greek scholars, artists, and poets.
Our journey includes:
• Thessaloniki and Vergina in the northern reaches of Macedonia
• The charming medieval village Metsovo
• Preveza, and the Nekromanteion of Acheron
• Odysseus and Penelope’s island kingdom of Ithaka
• The seaport town of Nafplion
• Visits to ancient and sacred sites, including Epidaurus, The Sanctuary of Eleusis, Temple of Apollo in Delphi
• Athens, and more
If you have ever wondered about how and why a passion for art, beauty, truth, and freedom all arose during the few short years of the Age of Pericles and continues to influence us today, then this tour is for you. An exhilarating odyssey awaits you across Homer’s legendary "wine-dark sea" in the land of ancient Greek gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, and sublime world heritage sites.
