WHAT TO PACK

  • Exploring Athens means epic step target domination (and then some!). Lace up those comfy shoes and bring clothes that can keep up with all the adventures. 🏛️👟
  • November in Athens means cooler temps (about 18°C / 65°F) with a chance of rain, so check the forecast and plan for layers. 
  • We’re crafting an unforgettable welcome dinner, so pack one “Heroic chic” outfit—a nicer shirt or a simple dress should do the trick! 
  • Dress in gear that lets you move (and dominate some burpees?)! 💪🔥
  • Get ready to channel your inner Olympic hero! At least one time, you’ll need proper athletic gear to challenge your best at the Panathenaic Stadium—the same grounds where they held the first Panathenaic Games back in 400 BC! 🏟️👟
  • Expect to score some Heroic gear, including (at least!) one t-shirt.
  • Despite cooler temperatures, we’re told the Aegean Sea is always warm for swimming!
  • You’ll have a chance to get a professional headshot during the Workshop Instructor Training—perfect for that LinkedIn upgrade. 📸✨
  • Check out the Timeshifter app to crush jetlag and keep energy levels at their peak. 🛫🌞
Don’t forget:
  • Wallet: ID, passport, cash, cards—everything you need to make it happen.
  • Travel Documents: Travel insurance and entry visa (if needed).
  • Critical Meds: Bring medications, and we recommend having copies of prescriptions and generic names. 
  • Extra Copies of Important Docs: Front page of your passport and credit cards, just in case. 
  • Greece uses the Type F plug, so bring an adapter if you want your electronics to stay charged. 🔌⚡️
Heroic Event

Here’s what you can expect from our time together:

 On day one, we’ll kick things off with a Heroic welcome before diving into an epic journey through Athens. We'll meet our guides and take a scenic 15-minute walk to the iconic Acropolis where we’ll immerse ourselves in history of the Acropolis, followed by an exploration of the Ancient Agora. We'll gather for lunch in the vibrant Monastiraki Square, where you'll savor the flavors of Greece while deepening connections with new friends. The afternoon brings free time to explore the charming streets of Plaka, before we come back together for an unforgettable welcome dinner that evening. 
 
Day two takes us to the historic Panathenaic Stadium—where we'll tour the site of the earliest Olympics and take on an energetic best challenge, together! Later, we'll have a private picnic lunch at Plato’s Academy Park, where Donald Robertson will lead a discussion on Stoic thought and the incredible history of the park, enriching both our minds and spirits. By mid-afternoon, we’ll wrap up with a PM bookend, leaving you the rest of the evening free to explore the narrow colorful streets of ancient Plaka, the bustling flea market of Monastiraki, the former shoemaker and leather workshops of Psirri, at your own pace, or with Heroic friends.
 
Our final day begins with a group hike up Mount Lycabettus—one of Athens' highest points—where we’ll reflect and celebrate with our Athens Activation Closing Ceremony.
