Mythology Walking Tour

Description

Let’s take a walk in the same places where myths were born. We will introduce you to the origins of storytelling, of both tragedy and comedy and explore how they evolved through time along art and sciences. You will see similarities and differences of myths through time and cultures and how they shaped and also got shaped by religion, clashes and technology.

• The Trial of the War of God, Ares.
• The legend of Theseus and the Minotaur, and how the Aegean sea got its name

Additional Info

This is the perfect tour for people who love stories and hate plain boring information. We still get to walk around a lot of ancient sights and combine story-telling with sight-seeing. It is a more playful and engaging form of seeing the city and learning about its past

This is potentially family friendly but beware some of the myths are full of incest, death and explicit details so make sure you are ok with that. Make sure to book private for a tailored experience with myths for younger kids!
