The Land of the Ancient Greeks

Joanna begins her Greek odyssey at the Parthenon in Athens, created by the ancient Greeks more than two and a half thousand years ago. This was the dawn of western civilization, which saw the birth of democracy, language, science and medicine. From here Joanna travels around the southern region of Greece from Athens to the Peloponnese, visiting spectacular mythical and historic sites left by this great civilization. These were places of theatre, death, sport and religion to the Ancients and they represent the very cornerstone of this empire. The Greeks flocked to these sites and Joanna follows in their footsteps.
