Self-Discovery Scavenger Hunt

The king of the Olympian Gods, the almighty Zeus, travels to the island of Crete! The reason; But ... because all the Gods were just… lost! A strong south wind blew on the Mountain Olympus and since then all the thrones have been left empty. Where is the goddess Athena now? Where has Hephaestus drilled? In which Cretan waters is Poseidon swimming?

Take part in a hidden treasure hunt in the city of Heraklion! With the help of Zeus, let's solve puzzles, explore monuments and discover the Olympian Gods! Twelve gods are waiting for you hidden in twelve places in the city of Heraklion! Are you ready to discover them?
