Full description

This exciting 3-day and environmentally responsible tour takes you to the most important archaeological sites of classical Greece. Providing a superb introduction to some of the myths of the ancient world, you will visit the tomb of Agamemnon in Mycenae, the Temple of Apollo and Oracle at Delphi, and the altar of the Olympic flame at Olympia. You will also make short stops in the cities of Tripolis and Megalopolis, drive past the mighty Corinth Canal, and see the charming harbor town of Nafpaktos.

Day 1: Epidaurus – Nayplia - Mycenae

Following your departure from Athens, visit the Corinth Canal on the Saronic Gulf and admire the miraculous 19th-century feat of engineering. Continue to Epidaurus to tour the ancient theater, world famous for its outstanding acoustics. Proceed to Nafplia, former capital of the First Hellenic Republic, and drive through the plain of Argos. Upon arrival in Mycenae, visit the ruins of the citadel and the Tomb of Agamemnon. Continue to Olympia for your overnight stay, traveling via the cities of Tripolis and Megalopolis, where you can take short stops to stretch your legs or purchase souvenir items.

Day 2: Olympia - Delphi

Visit the archaeological remains of Olympia, site of the Olympic Games in classical times and sacred ground to the Ancient Greeks. Admire the Doric columns of the Temples of Zeus and Hera, see the remains of the Stadium, and go to the altar of the Olympic flame. Explore the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, located directly opposite the ruins and filled with excavated artifacts. Depart Olympia for Rion, and cross the Corinthian Bay via the new bridge to Antirion. Sit back and enjoy the ride along the coastal road to Delphi, passing the charming small harbor city of Nafpaktos. In the afternoon visit the picturesque mountain village of Arachova on the slopes of the Parnassus Mountains, before your overnight stay in Delphi.

Day 3: Delphi - Athens

Today, experience the mysterious atmosphere of Delphi up close, with a tour of the archaeological site perched high on the Parnassus Mountains. Once regarded as the center of the world, Delphi was connected to the worship of Gaia, or Mother Earth, and guarded by a Python dragon that was killed by Apollo. Visit the temple dedicated to Apollo and learn about the great Oracle of Delphi. Continue to the theater, where up to 5,000 spectators would watch plays, poetry readings, and festivals. Enjoy superb views of the Parnassus Mountains and valley from the top of the hill and explore an impressive collection of artefacts and relics associated with ancient Delphi at the Archaeological Museum. In the afternoon, make your way back to Athens, driving through the vine and olive tree-studded hills of Parnassus and the Valley of Phocis.

It is a very interesting tour! You can realize an accurate idea of the Ancient Greece and its extraordinary mithology. I wanted to stay one more day to visit Meteora but I could not continue. The activity is convenient because you can choose whether to participate in 2, 3 or 4 days. In this time you don't have to worry about anything: the hotels are carefully chosen and the dinners are very good. The visit and break times were excellently punctuated. Evangelist was thoughtful and looked after us at all times. We also had a wake up call in the morning! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about mythology and archeology, so I suggest this tour!

Definitely exceeded expectations. I don’t know how the bus drivers maneuver through those towns and curvy roads, but our driver (Thomas) did great. We did the 3-star hotels and both were quite nice - especially the first one in Olympia (Neda?). Rooftop dining was delicious for both meals. Service at both hotels was impeccable. Plus we were in town which was convenient for time on our own. Our tour guide was FABULOUS!! I’m not sure how to spell her name (Dacia ?), but she was very good. Lots of great information, commentary, brought photos/books of re-creations of what the ruins are believed to have looked like - which was very cool to see while standing in what could be seen. The trip schedule flowed well and Dacia made sure to reference things we had already seen or point out places we will see and how the three locations differed or linked or were similar. It really helped tie some of the history together. The tour would have been great either way but Dacia made it even better.

Definitely take this tour if you are interested in a good overview of the archeological sites. Our great guide Christina would usually first take us to the most relevant spots and explain their history, and then give us some free time to explore them further on our own (or sit down and relax). She was very nice and knowledgeable (though sometimes she oversimplified a bit), had a wonderful English and a great way to interleave historical commentaries with ancient myths, information on modern Greece and trivia, and this made the time spent on the couch go faster. The hotels were quite nice and at least four stars, but this could depend on availability. Food was just appropriate. Unfortunately the sites are quite far apart, but going there for longer on your own would probably take at least an extra day. At the end of the last day we switched to the couch of the 1-day tour to go back to Athens. The new guide was quite worse, luckily there was really nothing more of interest.
