Slip back into classical antiquity as we move from the Acropolis to Katakolo, gateway to Ancient Olympia, and step among the ruins of temples, colonnades and stadia, reliving the first ever games held in 776 BC. From the Peloponnese to Corelli’s Kefalonia, cast into the Ionian, where we pick up a thread woven by the Venetians leading us to lagoons of La Serenissima via the unfolding, never-ending charms of Puglia, Dalmatia and lesser-travelled Istria.
