Now bookable, this trip takes guests to iconic destinations like Athens, the Peloponnese Coast and Crete, where families will undertake a series of challenges inspired by Hercules’ famed 12 labors.
What can you expect?

Go sailing across the Saronic Gulf to the Temple of Poseidon and fight sea monsters sent by Hera. Trek though the oak forests of Foloi and search for Centaur Pholus and his secret jar of mythical wine among the oak trees and wildflowers. Hunt and capture the Cretan bull through Lasithi Plateau; learn about the history and mythology of the area; and venture to Eurystheus, who awaits in Katharo Plateau to receive the bull and release it, as the legend goes.
Families will also discover the secrets of the future and solve a riddle with Pytha, the Oracle of Delphi, at Mount Marnassus, home of the sacred Temple of Apollo. Kids can learn to read and write Greek while searching for clues and treasure in ancient Athens, and the whole family will join a skilled sculptor at a marble workshop to craft their own artifact on stone or clay.
