To give you some idea of “where and how”: This is the Hotel Philoxenia where we stay when we are in Thebes, Boiotia: 
-“It was a fantastic trip last year and I want to join again”
-“I think this was a very rewarding trip. A social trip where you get to know both your common travelers and Persians, Spartans, Greeks, Philosophers and Greek gods. One became familiar with all the others through common dinners and collections of some beers. Greece is amazing and getting to know more about what happened 2300-2800 years ago is incredibly rewarding when you are there all happened. A different experience with a knowledgeable and committed travelguide”.
-“An important experience from this trip was to discover how relevant the ancient Greeks’ knowledge of society is for the time we live today.”
-“The trip to Greece along with Anders as a tour guide was exciting and rich. He is knowledgeable and conveyed the information in a great way.” The end of the trip to the Acropolis was just top. “

“As a self-appointed expedition doctor on pilgrimage in ancient Greece, it was great to go long walks in historical nature, at summer temperatures around 25-30 degrees. My bag were a little heavy, but I had secured me by sending the bag of taxi on the longest trip, instead of carrying everything on my back. We got liquid and salt, and when someone emptied themselves, they chilled their heads with cold water and with cold water bottles on the sides of the neck to cool the blood to the head.
Some people were mire fit than others, and for my part, I had a victory against my odds. I recommend to wear slim socks and sneakers. A different style than cabin-to-cabin on the mountaion with the Norwegian Tourist Association. I was not prepared for the feet to swell in the heat, and one of the experienced Greece connoisseurs recommended tight socks that marathon runners use. We’ll get that next time!
