Inspired by "The Light and the Poverty" article.
It's actually a challenge to find what you are looking for as a tourist in Greece. Maybe that is why I have never been.
Nothing of what I would like to discover is there: no philosophical debates in the Athens stoa, no gymnasions to get fit in the proper way, no symposia to show off your wit and skills, no Olympic Games, not even a decent oracle at Delphi.
Creating a theme park featuring all that would terrify any casual tourist (and today's Greek) as much as it did foreign visitors 2,500 years ago.
But it would also be my favourite holiday destination.
