Transportation

The Acropolis with the Parthenon rises above the Greek capital's small alleys, traffic, and bustling streets, the monument of eternity in the middle of Athens' fleeting existence. Join us as we explore the Acropolis' holy rock, the treasures housed in the New Acropolis Museum, and the remainder of the architectural masterpieces of the past that may be discovered among the current city's streets and structures.
Our journey through time continues south in the Argolida region. Pass by the Corinth Canal, an artificial work separating Peloponnese from mainland Greece, until the Theater of Epidaurus, the largest among Ancient Theaters and best-preserved, built on the hillside between pine trees. Every year during the Festival of Epidaurus there classical Greek tragedy and comedy are reborn.
A short path leads to Mycenae, with its imposing Lion’s Gate, The Tomb of Agamemnon and the Cyclopean buildings, to finally reach Ancient Olympia. The next day we will explore the Stadium of Ancient Olympia and the temples of the birthplace of the Olympic games, before leaving to the north.
We will cross over the modern bridge of Rio Antirio to head to Delphi, which the ancient Greeks considered the “center of the earth”, where a priestess named Pythia, transmitted prophecies that were inspired by the god of Light and Sun, Apollo.
The next day we leave for Kalambaka and the Monasteries of Meteora where the spirituality and grandeur of nature combine to offer visitors an unforgettable experience.
After this journey through time and after having toured some of the most important and beautiful places of Greece, we go to Athens with a stop at the Thermopylae.
