You will learn about the natural cultivation processes of traditional Greek produce with permaculture. In addition, you will see how food is cultivated & understand the benefits of permaculture for ourselves, the soil, the economy & the planet. For children, unique features such as the ‘chicken tractor’, ‘worm farm’ & ‘biodiversity pond’ are wonderful additions to the route!
At the southernmost point of the Peninsula of Athens we come to the Temple of Poseidon. Located 70 meters on a clifftop this amazing temple was dedicated to the God Poseidon. It was the last thing Ancient sailors saw on leaving port & the first site on return with many legends to learn.
The Ancient Theatre of Thorikos built around 525 BC (around 2500 years ago) is the oldest known theatre in the world but lies almost forgotten & a short drive from the more famous Temple of Poseidon. Without guards or fences one can just walk into this site & imagine the performances that once graced its stage with the backdrop of the Aegean sea in the distance.
