Itinerary

Day 1: Corinth Canal

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 a Boutique small 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.

Day 3: Visit Delphi,Thermopylae

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.

Overnight at Kalambaka at a 4-star or Boutique hotel like Guest House Iridanos

Day 4: Meteora

Next morning, after your breakfast, you will ascend to the top of the rocks to visit the stunning Meteora monasteries. This is a no-stress tour, with plenty of time to take photos, walk your way around and enjoy at your own pace. Your driver will take care of everything and will provide live commentary during the trip. There are six monasteries on Meteora: Great Meteoron, Varlaam, Roussanou, Agios Stefanos, Holy Trinity and St. Nicholas. You will visit 2 or 3 of Meteora monasteries, depending on the day and time we are visiting. Meteora monasteries date from 14th century and are unique because of the amazing treasure of Byzantine and Christian items you can witness. Items such as the classic attire of the monks, elegant paintings and etched glass. In 1981 Jame’s Bond film ‘For Your Eyes Only’ was partially filmed in the Monastery of Holy Trinity. Tyrion of ‘Game of Thrones’ while hanging at the edge of the cliff, the background the is overwhelming rocks of Meteora.
