IN GREECE
You have read the story
Now discover the world behind it.
For almost three thousand years, readers have followed Odysseus across stormy seas, through legendary kingdoms and into encounters with gods, monsters and heroes.
The citadels of Mycenae. The kingdom of Menelaus in Sparta. The Palace of Nestor at Pylos. The shores of Ithaca. The castles, caves and beaches chosen to bring Christopher Nolan’s cinematic vision to life.
Following Odysseus reveals the real places behind the story—and shows you how to experience them for yourself.
This is not another generic guide to Greece. It is a one-of-a-kind journey through mythology, archaeology, history, cinema and travel, created in Greece by local destination experts.
