Dear WEB visitor,

Some sources say that: the Petassos (a wide-brimmed traveling hat) the herald's staff and the winged sandals were given to HERMES by Zeus, once he had been admitted to Mount Olympus as an Olympian God:

" ... But your duties would include the making of treaties, the promotion of commerce, and the maintenance of free rights of way for travelers on any road in the world"
... Zeus said...

. Throughout the course of our 83 years involvement in the travel industry, this has been our fundamental belief and guiding philosophy.
