English breakfast buffet. Departure to Windsor Castle, First we will pass by the Royal College of Eton which was founded in 1440 . Το περιβάλλον του κολεγίου που κάτω από τους αψιδωτούς πύργους του εξακολουθεί να γαλουχεί πρίγκιπες, dukes, lords, counts, and aristocrats of every class. Το κολέγιο του Ήτον είναι ένα οικοτροφείο αποκλειστικά αρρένων. Αποτελεί ένα από τα πλέον αναγνωρισμένα εκπαιδευτικά ιδρύματα, με κύρος και κανόνες που προσομοιάζουν σε βασιλικό πρωτόκολλο, ενώ οι μαθητές του – γόνοι της παγκόσμιας ελίτ – καταφέρνουν να εισαχθούν σε ένα τεράστιο ποσοστό σε πανεπιστήμια της λεγόμενης Ivy League – αλλά και στα περιώνυμα ιδρύματα της Οξφόρδης και του Κέμπριτζ συγκεκριμένα και μάλιστα σε ένα ποσοστό 30%. It is no coincidence that at Eton College they have finished 20 prime ministers of Great Britain, including David Cameron but also Boris Johnson, King Charles and many others. Princes William and Harry are among its most famous graduates, while if we take a look back in the past in its corridors we will "meet" personalities like Ian Fleming, George Orwell, but also members of the Rothschild families, Goldsmith and Vanderbilt. Στη συνέχεια περνούμε πάνω από τον ποταμό Τάμεση ο οποίος πηγάζει από τα βουνά της Ουαλίας και στην πορεία του περνάει και από το Βασιλικό χωριό του Γουίνδορ. Το Γουίνσδορ είναι Βασιλικό χωριό διότι μέσα στο κάστρο φιλοξενούνται και τα θερινά ανάκτορα της Βασιλική οικογένειας. The castle is notable for its long association with the English and later the British royal family, but also for its architecture. The original Windsor Castle was built in the 11th century, after the Norman conquest of England under William I. Since the time of Henry I, it has been used by each monarch. The castle also includes the chapel of Agios Georgios, which was built in the 15th century and is the spiritual place of the castle. It is the most populated castle in the world, as more than 500 people live and work there. Queen Elizabeth II used the castle for her weekend stay, as well as a place for receptions and reception of foreign guests. Every year the Waterloo Ceremony is held there, with the presence of the King and the annual ceremony of the Order of Periknemis, which takes place in the Chapel of Agios Georgios. After the end of the tour leaving Windsor we will pass around the back of the castle where we will see the route that Queen Elizabeth used to take which is a straight one mile to attend every June and watch the Royal Ascot Races. Continuing we will pass through the park of Runnymede (Runnymede) where we will see the Magna Carta monument (Magna Carta) where the 1215 King John the Exchequer met with a group of barons in this small patch of countryside. Here he sealed the Magna Carta, considered by many to be the symbolic first step on the road to modern democracy. Departure for the airport and return flight to Greece with the best impressions from our excursion.
