Channel Your Inner Greek Deity on Our Luxurious Odyssey Through Historic Athens

As you’re reading this, qualifiers of the Switzerland Travel Incentive grand prize trip are stargazing the perfectly clear dark skies above the country’s scenic mountain backdrops and majestic Lake Geneva.

If you fell just short of qualifying for the Swiss trip, don’t worry: We have another epic journey planned for qualifiers of the 2025–2026 Agent/Broker Travel Incentive, and you have plenty of time left to bag the elephant and join us next year in Athens, Greece, from September 27 to October 1, 2026. The trip includes a four-night stay at the brand new, first-rate One&Only Aesthesis resort, where each qualifier and a guest will have the key to their own spacious bungalow—private plunge pool and all.

But with a theme of Opa! A Luxurious Odyssey Through Historic Athens, even the amazing resort property doesn’t stack up against the impressive rocky hilltop of the Acropolis of Athens, with the earliest evidence of habitation on this limestone hill dating all the way back to the Middle Neolithic period between 5,000–4,000 B.C.

An ancient citadel perched atop the bustling city of Athens, the Acropolis that we know today is one of the most recognizable archaeological sites in the world and remains an inspirational symbol of the achievements of the Greeks.

According to Greek mythology, the site was chosen by the god Poseidon and goddess Athena, who competed to become Athens’ patron deity. Athena ultimately won the contest by gifting the city an olive tree—a token of peace and prosperity—while Poseidon offered a spring from his trident, which was deemed less favorable.

The Acropolis, which means “high city” in Greek, was built and developed over several centuries. It was originally fortified by the Mycenaeans during the Bronze Age, but its most significant and iconic structures, like the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion, were constructed during the Golden Age of Athens in the 5th century B.C.

Located on the highest ground surrounded by steep terrain, the Acropolis served a dual purpose. From both a religious and military point of view, a hilltop site was highly desirable because it served as a home for the gods and goddesses—connected to the sky—and had a defensive edge against any invaders who would have to fight an uphill battle. The most celebrated myths of ancient Athens, its biggest religious festivals, earliest cults, and numerous decisive events in the city’s history are all related to this sacred precinct.

Dominating the center of the modern city from the rocky crag, the monuments of Acropolis stand in harmony with their natural setting. These unique masterpieces of ancient architecture combine different styles of classical art in an innovative manner that has influenced art and culture for many centuries.

The Acropolis is considered the most accurate reflection of the splendor, power, and wealth of Athens and Greek civilization at its greatest peak. Visiting the site is like walking back in history on a bridge to a past era—and taking a pilgrimage to the heart of Western civilization.

If you are someone who is fascinated by Greek history and mythology, visiting the Acropolis should be at the top of your bucket list.
