About this activity

A deep-dive into Greece's most significant classical ruins across two days, departing from Athens to explore the Peloponnese's archaeological crown jewels—from the engineering marvel of Corinth's canal to the legendary Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae, the oracle sanctuary of Delphi, and the athletic birthplace of Ancient Olympia. This itinerary combines legendary sites with manageable pacing, ideal for serious history travellers.

Our trip starts from Athens.
2 amazing days to the most majestic archaelogical places of Peloponnese.

Our first station is the canal of Corinth and after that, we are going to explore the places of Ancient Corinth and the historical Mycenae. We'll spend the night in Delphi (accomodation is not included. The accomodation for all, plus the driver's, must be done by the travellers), where in the evening we'll have free time for activities etc.

The next morning, we will head to Ancient Sparta and then, to Mystras. There, you will be able to enjoy the views of the castle. Our final destination before our return is the Ancient "Sacred Forrest" which was the name of Ancient Olympia and it's built on the North riverbank of Alfeios.
