The Tritons Go to Greece & Turkey

April 30, 2025


 

A traveling group of Tritons crossed the oceans to Greece and Turkey over spring break! 

From the moment our travelers landed in Athens, they were immersed in the ancient grandeur of a city named for the goddess Athena. Guided tours to landmarks like the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and the dramatic Corinth Canal set the stage for a scenic and historic adventure. Winding through the Argolida region, Epidaurus, and Mycenae, the group explored legendary sites with expert guides and even delved into Mycenaean pottery traditions before arriving in Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games.

The trip continued to awe in Delphi, where the Temple of Apollo and a museum full of ancient artifacts revealed the spiritual heart of ancient Greece. Returning to Athens, the travelers experienced the city in depth—from the Parthenon and Acropolis Museum to lively evening outings and a relaxing Saronic islands cruise option. The group embarked on a three-day cruise to Greece’s iconic islands, enjoying sun-soaked beaches, vibrant culture, and the unique blend of Greek, Roman, and Turkish influences that define the region. It was an unforgettable trip!
