Itinerary

Day 1: Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth, Epidaurus, Tolo, Mycenae, Nafplio

Start your tour with a morning pick up from your residence and set off towards the Peloponnese peninsula. Driving for about an hour we reach our first stop at Corinth Canal, an awe-inspiring engineering miracle, six and a half km long, separating the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. Because of its width, only small and narrow cargo and cruise ships still make a voyage through the canal regularly.

Overnight at Nafplio at a 4-star or Boutique hotel like Ippoliti Hotel

Day 2: Ancient Olympia, Rio-Antirio Bridge, Nafpaktos, Galaxidi, Delphi

After your breakfast at the hotel, we set off for the 2-hour drive to Ancient Olympia, another UNESCO site. You will visit the museum and the famous archaeological site of the ancient Olympic Games. Olympia lies in the fertile valley of Alpheios river and it was the most celebrated site of Ancient Greece. As you stroll by the ancient paths you will visit the Doric Temples of Zeus and Hera, the Bouleuterion, the Prytaneion, the Stadium, the Gymnasium, the Palestra, the Workshop of Pheidias and so many other stunning ancient buildings. At the museum, you will admire masterpieces such as the Nike of Paionios and the breathtaking Hermes and the Infant Dionysus statue. You can have your lunch in one of the local traditional taverns in the picturesque modern Olympia village.

Overnight at Galaxidi or Delphi at a 4-star or Boutique hotel like Ganimede or Nidimos.

Day 3: Visit Delphi, Arachova, Hosios Loukas Monastery

After your rest and breakfast at your hotel, your driver picks you up and transports you to Delphi, a remarkable archaeological site and museum. Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered to be the centre of the Ancient World. Leaders, Kings, and Marshals would consult Pythia, before taking any important decision. Thus, the site became massively rich and powerful and the excavated buildings prove its past wealth and abundance. Our guests will witness the Temple of Apollo, the Amphictyonic Council, the Siphnian Treasury, the Theatre, the Tholos, the Gymnasium and the Stadium, which are some of the important buildings on the site. The museum exhibits the history of the Delphic sanctuary and oracle, covering the long period from prehistory to late antiquity. Some of the masterpieces of the permanent collection include the famous Charioteer, the Sphinx of the Naxians, and the statues of Kleobis and Biton.
