You arrive on a coastal road outside Athens and the air tastes of olive groves and sea. Your private sedan curves across the Isthmus of Corinth; the canal’s narrow cut dares you to imagine the sailboats that once threaded these waters. Over four days you move through layers of Greek history—classical temples, Bronze Age citadels, the athletic ruins of Olympia, the oracle at Delphi and the vertiginous monasteries of Meteora perched like watchful islands of stone.
