MOUSAKA AND
SOUSTA Athens - With the help of a local expert, you will learn the basic Greek dance steps. Following the lesson you will be transferred to a taverna, which is a family-style (sometimes open-air) restaurant serving typical Greek food. While dining, guests will enjoy listening to Greek Bouzouki music and watching traditional folk dances. (No costumes or plate throwing unfortunately) |

"ANCIENT ROME
LIVE" In the forum, an activity brings the past to life! This activity uses the Roman Forum to look at life in ancient times. By providing groups with background information on a variety of 'spots' in the Forum, it aims to bring to life the ruins, which at times are difficult to visualize as they were two millennia ago. |
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION Exercise your right to vote! Step into the shoes of ancient Athenians to debate and vote on the issues of the day. Will you wage war on Corinth? Negotiate with Sparta? This lively debate reveals how the government worked and what it had in common with modern day American democracy. |
