An Epic Greek Adventure into Myth & Magic — with Ray and Nina Crist

Where Education Meets Epic Adventure (and a Whole Lot of Fun)

Adventures

Enjoy daily adventures & visits to archeological sites. 

Greek Mythology 

We will learn about the 12 Gods of Olympus and their adventures! 

Explore the Coast 

We will explore the stunning coast of the Peloponnese and visit the homeland of Jason and the Argonauts.

 Democracy: The Voice of the People

Democracy was born in ancient Athens over 2,500 years ago. It was the first time in history that citizens were given a voice in how they were governed. Although only free male citizens were eligible to participate, the foundational ideas of equality, civic duty, and the power of collective decision-making laid the groundwork for modern democratic systems. During our retreat, we’ll walk the Agora where debates once shaped history and hold our democratic forum.

Medicine: Healing from the Wisdom of Asclepius

The roots of Western medicine can be traced back to Greece, where healing was both a science and a sacred art. Hippocrates, often referred to as the father of medicine, emphasized the importance of observation, diet, and balance. Meanwhile, the temples of Asclepius served as sanctuaries where dream incubation and rituals were used for deep healing. Participants will explore ancient healing practices and learn how holistic wisdom continues to influence modern medicine.

The Olympian Gods

Meet the 12 powerful deities of Mount Olympus, each representing unique aspects of human nature and the cosmos. Through storytelling, art, and ritual, we’ll discover how their myths still live in us today.

The Island of Hydra

Hydra is a car-free Greek island known for its preserved neoclassical architecture and vibrant arts scene. Stone mansions climb the hills above the harbor, once home to sailors, rebels, and poets. Time slows down here, where donkeys are taxis and the sea is always within reach.

Nafplio

Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, charms with its Venetian fortresses and neoclassical elegance. Cobblestone alleys wind through old town, lined with bougainvillea and vibrant cafes.
Overlooking it all, Palamidi fortress stands as a timeless guardian of history and beauty.

Recharge & Roam!

Crystal-clear, pebbly shores fringed by pine and tamarisk trees make Epidavros beach perfect for peaceful swimming and gentle snorkeling near submerged ruins. Gialasi is the go‑to family-friendly stretch with sunbeds, beach bars, and shallow waters, while Vagionia and Kalamaki offer secluded spots embraced by greenery. Don’t miss a dip above the “sunken city” — ancient foundations and amphorae lie just two meters below the surface, offering a uniquely historic swim.
