Athens: 
This morning, we will have a tour of the city of Athens, seeing the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers, the Olympic stadium-home of the first modern day Olympic competition and future site of the Olympic Games of 2004. Of course, a tour of Athens is not complete without a visit to the Acropolis and Parthenon. On Mars Hill, Paul was brought before the council and delivered his great sermon. There is so much to see that this will only wet your appetite to explore on your own.

Greek Islands: More Detail
This morning we begin a trip to three small Greek islands. We board our sailing vessel right after an early breakfast for Hydra, Poros and Aegina. This is a delightful day giving us the opportunity to experience the Greek Isles where each small island is unique and picturesque.

Corinth:
Corinth is an ancient city, whose ruins make it an important cultural center. It is fascinating to walk along the stone path that the Apostle Paul walked. The engineering skills and intellect of these people are evident in the water systems that still flow from ancient to modern day. See the public "rest room" facilities and be sure to ask why frogs were in residence there.
