                      The New Acropolis Museum  

 Now, for the first time ever, the surviving treasures of the Acropolis can be seen all in one place at the New Acropolis Museum. Works previously held in storage, in other Athenian museums, and in museums abroad have been reassembled and displayed in this remarkable facility that is close to the original location. The collections on display are finds from the Acropolis, post-Parthenon and Roman Periods, and from the excavation site when the new museum was built. The highlight of the museum is the display of the Parthenon Frieze, located on the top floor. Upon completion of your guided tour of the new museum you will set out on a scenic drive through Athens. Along the way, watch for the Greek Parliament, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the stadium used for the modern Olympics. Enjoy lunch at a local venue before you return to the ship.

TRIP TO CORINTO AND CORINTO CANAL

Ancient Corinth & Canal

Visit the famous Corinth Canal, which is four miles long, 70 feet wide and has sloping sides 170 feet in height. It connects the Ionian and Aegean seas to provide a maritime shortcut. Your next stop will be at Ancient Corinth. The ruins that lie in this area are a surprising mix of an ancient 6th-century BC Greek city and a 44 BC Roman city—the latter was built after Julius Caesar placed a colony on this desolate site. See the ruins and excavations of both, including where the Christian Basilica, the starting lines of a Greek racetrack, a sacred spring with its bronze lion’s-head spouts, and the elaborate Roman fountain of Peirene were located.
