Eleusis Half Day Tour/Elefsinian Mysteries-Anyone visited??

[vanchelle]

We continue to circle back to this tour…and I’d love feedback on whether someone went on it and loved it/hated it? The mysteries and story of Persephone, Demeter, Hades, etc. are of great interest to my spouse. It’s not an inexpensive tour and I’d feel better seeing/hearing more reviews. 
thanks in advance!

I haven't done this as a tour, but it's very easy to do on your own from Athens (which I did).  The ancient mysteries are a topic I find fascinating (as an armchair historian with a major interest in archaeology). I found the site very evocative, but part of that was because I was there with only one other person and it was easy to let my imagination come to life. 

 

If your spouse is interested and knows something of the mystery religions and what took place at the site (where even Roman emperors were delighted to be initiated), then I would suggest you do it. The museum on site is not large but it is also very interesting.  

 

If you have any specific questions, I'm happy to answer them.
