  • We’ll transfer you to the hotel, and you’ll have some free time. In the afternoon, you’ll find information about the start of your tour on the boards located at the hotel reception.

Day 2

ATHENS

  • We´ll embark on a city tour of Athens with a local guide, visiting landmarks such as the Presidential Mansion, the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held, the National Library, and the bustling squares of the city center.
  • Next, we also explore the newer neighborhoods that developed after the 2004 Olympic Games. The tour will conclude at the Acropolis (admission not included).

Day 3

ATHENS - TRIPOLI - OLYMPIA - PATRAS

  • We’ll travel to the Peloponnese, making a brief stop at the Corinth Canal, an impressive engineering marvel from the late nineteenth century.
  • Continuing through the mountains, we’ll reach Tripoli, the capital of the Arcadia region. Here, we’ll take a break to explore the bustling Aeros Square, known for its cafes and restaurants.
  • Our journey will then take us to Olympia, where we’ll visit the Archaeological Site with a local guide (tickets included).
