The next day, embark on an in-depth private guided tour of Athens, where you’ll delve into the city’s rich history, ancient landmarks, and vibrant culture with our expert local guide. Visit iconic sites like the Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Kallimarmaro stadium, while uncovering the fascinating stories behind each. Visit the Acropolis Museum, where you’ll marvel at the treasures that bring Athens’ ancient past to life. Explore charming neighborhoods and hidden historical gems, with personalized insights along the way.

Travel to the Corinth Canal and experience the engineering marvel of a stunning 6.3 km (3.9 miles) waterway that connects the Aegean and Ionian Seas, separating the Peloponnese peninsula from mainland Greece. Reach Ancient Corinth, surrounded by fertile plains and blessed with natural springs, where the ruins of ancient structures are remarkably well-preserved, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the ancient world. The road leads us to the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, a one-of-a-kind archaeological site famous for its symmetry and incredible acoustics. Spend the night in Nafplion, the first capital of Greece and one of the most elegant and romantic cities in the country. The beautiful old city has a wealth of narrow alleyways and a lovely seafront promenade but the best is perhaps just watching the sun coloring the bay an ecstatic red.

Travel to the heart of the Ancient Greek Civilization, Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the center of Mycenaean civilization (circa 1600-1100 BC). Explore the imposing Lion Gate, the main entrance adorned with lion carvings, and the Treasury of Atreus, an impressive beehive tomb believed to be the burial site of Agamemnon. Afterwards, visit a hidden gem of Greece, Ancient Nemea. Explore the remains of the Doric-style Temple of Zeus dating back to the 6th century BC, and the Ancient Stadium, which once hosted the Nemean Games, one of the major Panhellenic athletic festivals. Visitors can still see the starting line, seating areas, and the well-preserved track. Tip: You can even try running the track yourself! Taste the exceptional Agiorgitiko wine, steeped in myth and legend. According to ancient tales, when Hercules defeated the Nemean Lion and wore its invulnerable skin as a cloak, the blood of the lion is said to have given rise to the deep red hue of Agiorgitiko wine. Locals fondly refer to it as the “Blood of Hercules.” Reach Monemvasia, an exceptionally well-preserved medieval castle well hidden from the land. The unique ambiance of the castle offers the visitor a journey back in time, a benchmark for his traveling experience.

Our next destination is the picturesque town of Gytheio, where Paris and Helen spent time before sailing to Troy, which led to the famous Trojan War. Explore the Diros Caves, a breathtaking natural wonder in Greece, famous for its 1,600-meter underground river. As you journey through winding tunnels and caverns, uncover a surreal world of magnificent stalactites and stalagmites within the vast subterranean chamber. Continue with a visit to the Monument of Leonidas in Sparta, which is a tribute to King Leonidas I, the legendary Spartan warrior-king who led the 300 Spartans against the Persian army at the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC).

Visit Ancient Olympia, a breathtaking landscape of natural beauty and the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Strolling through the Ancient Stadium, you can stand where athletes competed for glory over 2,000 years ago.

Reach Kalavryta, a picturesque mountain town that radiates a peaceful, timeless charm. Whether blanketed in snow during winter or bursting with greenery in spring, the stunning landscape never fails to captivate.
