day 1 - Arrival in Athens

Upon arriving in the city of Athens, you'll be transferred to your hotel in one of our private vehicles. One of our English-speaking team members will greet you at your hotel, help you get settled, walk you through your trip details, give you an overview of the city and its daily life, and answer any questions you might have. After, you will have the remainder of the day to unwind and explore Athens at your leisure.

Please note: This tour is conducted in English. However, dependent on the mix of the group, touring may also be bilingual, in one additional language as well as English.

OverNight:Athens

day 2 - Epidaurus, Nafplio & Mycenae to Olympia

Athens - Epidaurus - Nafplio - Mycenae - Olympia. Today, we'll head to the Corinth Canal for a brief stop, where you can capture photos and admire this renowned channel, which links the Aegean Sea with the Gulf of Corinth. This remarkable engineering achievement allows ships to bypass a lengthy 400 km journey around the Peloponnese peninsula to reach the Ionian Sea.

As we continue our journey, we'll visit the Theatre of Epidaurus, famous worldwide for its exceptional acoustics and still hosting various performances, particularly in the summer. We will also visit the museum dedicated to Asclepius, regarded as the father of modern medicine.

Afterwards, we'll travel to Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece. The journey proceeds to Mycenae, where we'll explore the prehistoric Acropolis, the Lions Gate, and the so-called tomb of "Agamemnon." In the afternoon, we'll journey across central Peloponnese, arriving in the city of Olympia by early evening. Once we have arrived, we will have dinner and spend the night in Olympia.

Meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Dinner

OverNight:Olympia

day 3 - Olympic Stadium, Museum of Olympia & Transfer to Delphi

Olympia - Delphi. In the morning, we will explore the site of the ancient Olympic stadium, where the first games were held around 776 BC. The significance of these games was clear, as Greek cities would cease hostilities in honour of the celebrations. The Olympiad was the only universally recognised chronological framework across Greece, marking the four-year interval between events.

Olympia was also the most significant sanctuary in Ancient Greece, dedicated to Zeus, the chief of the gods. The enormous gold and ivory statue created by Phidias was renowned as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

After visiting the Museum of Olympia, we will journey on to Delphi, crossing the impressive Rio-Antirion suspension bridge, a testament to modern engineering.

Meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Dinner

OverNight:Delphi

day 4 - Exploring Delphi & Transfer to Kalabaka

Delphi - Kalabaka. In the morning, after enjoying breakfast, we will visit Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the centre, or navel, of the ancient world. Here, the famous Oracle of Delphi, a trusted advisor to kings and pilgrims, once resided. Be sure to explore the museum, home to the "bronze charioteer," an exquisite example of Greek sculpture.

After concluding our tour of Delphi, we will depart from the slopes of Mount Parnassus and proceed to the plains of Thessaly, where the city of Kalabaka is situated. Upon arrival in Kalambaka, we will have dinner and spend the night here.

This enigmatic landscape showcases a fusion of natural beauty and the striking presence of timeless monasteries perched atop massive rocks. Of the original monasteries, only six remain active today—five for men and one for women.

On our return journey to Athens, we will pass by Thermopylae, where we can view the statue of Spartan King Leonidas I, known for his leadership in the battle against the Persians in 480 BC. We will arrive in Athens in the afternoon, and we will be dropped off at our hotel or the nearest one.

Shortly after, we'll board our vehicle for a panoramic city tour, providing a comprehensive introduction to Athens and its key landmarks. During, we'll see the Athenian Trilogy, (the National Library, the University of Athens, and the Academy of Athens), the Presidential Residence, the Kallimarmaro Stadium (Panathenaic Stadium), the Zappeion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and Hadrian’s Gate. We'll make brief stops to appreciate these landmarks and take memorable photos.

Our tour will conclude at the top of Philopappou Hill, where we'll find stunning views of the city. Here, our guide can offer recommendations for further independent exploration, whether you're interested in visiting the Acropolis, discovering Monastiraki, or enjoying a meal in Plaka. This tour is scheduled to end around 19:30, giving you some time to rest before heading to Monastiraki for the Athens by Night Walking Tour, where we'll see another side of the city under the moonlight.

Here, we will board a ferry bound for the renowned island of Mykonos. The crossing is perfectly timed to allow you to bask in the sun on deck and admire the Aegean Sea's deep blue waters.

Traditionally, the island's name is believed to mean "the heap of stones" or "rocky place," although another story connects it to the hero Mykono, son of King Aniou of Dilos.

The rest of the day is yours to unwind and experience the island's leisurely lifestyle.
