Why visit the park?
All visitors of the unique theme park take an unforgettable journey back in time. They interactively discover the adventures of Odysseus, watch the resourceful and tireless hero struggle to take his fate in his own hands, dealing with gods, demigods, witches and giants; they hear the secret words whispered by the goddess Athena, all the instructions and advice that Tiresias, the blind prophet, gave him; all the places the king of Ithaca traveled while wandering for ten years.
Inside the Trojan Horse, where once the Achaeans squeezed attempting to conquer Troy, there are all the memories and incredible details of Odysseus’ legendary journey, the fearless hero; also all the memories, adventures and battles of the heroe of the most fascinating history in the world. Thus visitors of the theme park get to experiense, hear and see the beasts and stories; they learn the secret tricks Odysseus had to devise in order to overcome the great hardships and to survive the danger, the mythical monsters and the will of gods against him. Circe, the Cyclops, the Laestrygonians, the Sirens, Neptune and the kind Aeolus are waiting for you to tell you their stories.
Highly educational and humorous, the Odyssey theme park tour will be an unforgettable, experiential and educational visit.
Scientific validity and humor
The supervision and educational validity of the theme park and all the information and texts have been undertaken by a great scientific and creative team.
Mr. Ioannis Kazazis, Professor of Ancient Classical Philology and President of the Greek Language Center is in charge of the scientific supervision and guidance of the team. He is a Research Fellow at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the University of N. Dakota and Visiting Professor at the University of Maryland.
The writer and researcher, Panagiotis Topalidis, undertook the writing of the texts and the script of the museum-theme park.
A different “touch” to the park, added Yiannis Servetas, well known for his intelligent humor. His own “intervention” into the script and texts added humor.
