Summary/Abstract: This article compares the Greek journeys of two outstanding Polish humanists, deeply involved in the ancient heritage of Europe. The author compares notes from a trip to Greece by Karolina Lanckorońska with an essay by Stanisław Vincenz devoted to Pausanias (both texts written in the 1960s) in the context of the European tradition of travelogue on Greece. This comparison presents two different visions of Greek culture as the basis for European humanism.
