• Visit all the legendary theatres of the very first Olympic Games – the stadium, gymnasium, wrestling school, priest houses, temples and hippodrome
• Meteora makes for one of Greece's most extraordinary scenes. With magical monasteries built on a series of ancient rock pinnacles, this sight must be seen to be believed
