At the end of April a group of our Fifth Year Classics students travelled to Athens and embarked on a tour of many ancient Greek archeological sites including the Parthenon at the Acropolis, Delphi, the 4th century Amphitheatre of Epidaurus, the remains of ancient Corinth, Agamemnon’s Palace and the Tombs at Mycenae.
They also visited the Corinth Canal – the narrow canal that cuts through the isthmus of Corinth, linking the Ionian Sea with the Aegean, one of the most significant infrastructural feats the world has ever seen.
