What is included in the 3-day private tour price?

The EUR 1,980 entry price covers private transportation, guided access to all five major sites (Kalavrita, Olympia, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Corinth), and a personalized itinerary. Confirm whether entrance fees, meals, and accommodation are included with your provider.

Is this tour suitable for people with limited mobility?

Archaeological sites involve uneven terrain and extended walking. Mycenae and Olympia require significant uphill sections. Discuss accessibility needs with your provider beforehand; some sites offer partial access via vehicles or shorter walks.

How much walking is involved each day?

Expect 2–3 hours of moderate walking daily spread across site visits, with rest breaks. Pace is flexible on private tours; you can spend more or less time at each location based on interest.

What is the best order to visit these sites?

Typical routing from Athens is Corinth → Mycenae → Epidaurus → Olympia → Kalavrita (or reverse), covering the Peloponnese logically. Your private guide can adjust the sequence based on your preferences and energy levels.

Can I customize the itinerary or skip sites?

Yes. Private tours offer flexibility. You can spend extra time at sites of personal interest, skip locations, or add detours to villages and viewpoints. Confirm any modifications don't incur additional fees.

Do I need to arrange my own accommodation for the 3 days?

Confirm with your provider whether nights are included or if you're arranging your own lodging. Some private tours include hotel transfers and overnights; others operate as day excursions with evening returns to Athens.

About this activity

A three-day immersive exploration of the Peloponnese that combines mythologically significant ancient sites—Mycenae, Epidaurus, and Corinth—with the compelling WWII history of Kalavrita and the Olympic legacy of Olympia. This private tour prioritizes depth over crowds, weaving together archaeology, history, and landscape across Greece's most culturally rich region.

This tour caters to those seeking to venture off the beaten path and discover a lesser-explored side of Greece, complemented by visits to some of the Peloponnese peninsula's most significant sites.

✓Visit the perfectly preserved ancient theatre at Epidaurus
✓Walk through Olympia's original Olympic Games sanctuary
✓Discover Kalavrita's WWII memorials and mountain village character
✓See the Corinth Canal and classical ruins of ancient Corinth
✓Private transportation with personalized pace and flexibility

Insider tips

★Arrive at Epidaurus early in the day to experience the theatre's acoustics before other tour groups arrive
★Kalavrita's mountain setting offers cooler relief in summer; plan this leg mid-afternoon to avoid heat fatigue
★Request stops at local tavernas in smaller towns rather than tourist-focused restaurants near major sites
★The Corinth Canal viewing spot is best visited late afternoon when light angles across the water dramatically

Good to know

our guide Luca was nice enough, but a little local spot off the usual route felt a bit rushed honestly, and not as good as the one we did in Cancun tbh.

our guide Noa sorted everything for us and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight. Went last tuesday so it wasnt too busy. Good as a half-day option, and came away with 200+ photos, and spot on for a couples day out, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
