E ven during an age when every capital city looks more like an- other under the influence of glo- balisation, and when goods that once required one to travel great distant to acquire are now just a click away, it is still impossible to find an adequate sub- stitute for the feeling that overcomes a person in the presence of the gods and heroes of the Peloponnese. This peninsula, located in the south- ernmost part of mainland Greece, is not dubbed the cradle of civilisation without reason - it has preserved memories of numerous famous philosophers, states- men, battles and myths.

kilometres from Athens, will be a revela- tion even for the “old” souls who went in search of sites that hosted performanc- es of the famous tragedies about Pro- metheus, Antigone or Iphigenia, as well as those whose wonders fascinate the modern world. This city’s famous the- atre has remained an unrivalled archi- tectural ideal to this day, given that – despite it being able to accommodate 12,000 guests – even someone siting in the back row could hear a pin drop on the stage, due to no small measure of seemingly alien acoustics.
