You step out into an Athenian morning where the wind off the Saronic Sea threads through narrow streets and the limestone of the Acropolis glows honey-bright. A private vehicle pulls up; your guide folds a map into stories — of Paul speaking on Mars Hill, of marble blocks moved across an isthmus — and the city unfolds as a sequence of lived layers.
