Itinerary

1. Our tour starts in Athens and continues to Corinth and its famous Canal, which connects the Aegean and Ionian seas. This project has turned several engineers around since ancient times. However, it was only with the cooperation of several countries that it became a reality in 1893. It is an impressive and breathtaking work once you are on your bridge. It is 6.3 km long, 21 m wide, more than 80 meters high and only 8 meters deep in its waters. With luck, you will be able to see and photograph one of the 11,000 ships that pass through it each year. This includes the time of the transfers

   3 h

2. Welcome to the birthplace of the Olympic Games! Visit the archaeological site of Olympia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the facilities of the ancient Olympic Stadium that hosted the first Olympic Games, and the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and Hera. The archaeological site stands out among the most important in Greece and offers a panorama of world history. This includes the time of the transfers

   4 h

3. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia is a unique experience. You will be able to appreciate the main works of ancient art such as the famous Hermes, Zeus and Ganymede of Praxiteles, and the magnificent sculptures that adorned the pediments and metopes of the Temple of Zeus. This includes the time of the transfers

   3 h

4. More than 400 exhibits, dating from the prehistoric period to the 5th century AD. C., are exhibited in thematic groups within the Museum of the History of the Olympic Games of Antiquity. Most come from Olympia, but also from other important places in Greece.

About Athens

Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.

The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
