Athens
Welcome to Athens, Greek adventurers! The clock starts now on uncovering this ancient country and all its quirks. We’re calling it now, that this trip is THE ancient history lovers dream. Settle in to your hotel before catching up with the crew and get right into the Greek way of life.

Arion Hotel (or similar)Included ExperienceVisit Plaka: ‘Neighbourhood of the Gods’ See Athens’ old town with its winding flower-filled streets and array of tavernas to stop off for a beer and some olives.

Day 2: Athens to Olympia

AthensNot a second of today will go to waste. Europe’s oldest city will unfold itself this morning as we take to the Parthenon and the Acropolis with the knowledge of a local, then explore the first modern Olympic Stadium from the 1896 Games. That’s some really old Olympic vibes right there.

CorinthRugged mountains, cypress trees and citrus groves will pepper our pretty tour from Athens to Corinth, where we will stop to get a look at a man-made canal that squeezes ships through its tight cliffs in what seems like an impossible feat.

Archaeological Site of MycenaeWhat was once a military hotspot is now a jaw-dropping archaeological site amidst the mountain ranges of Greece. Our Trip Manager will uncover the 4,000 year history of Mycenae and Agamemnon’s Palace in a tale of heroics, myths and curses.

Nafplio
We make a short stop at the cute coastal town of Nafplio i.e the first capital of Greece. Let’s grab some lunch (gyros, anyone?) and take a stroll through the ancient city. Next up – the wispy mountains of Arcadia to Olympia. Save some room on your camera roll for this one…
OlympiaAnd so the historical uncovering continue as we land in Olympia, the place where the Olympic Games were birthed, and what is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Day 3: Olympia to Delphi

OlympiaFun fact: the first Olympic Games was held in 776BC, let’s just let that number sink in for a moment…Wow. Today our Local Guide will show us all the important sites of those games, giving you the chance to sit in the 45,000 seat stadium where it actually first took place. If that’s not a spine-tingling moment, we don’t know what is. We’ll wrap it up at the Temple of Hera (Queen of the Greek Gods), and place where the Olympic flame is lit every four years. We’ll also visit the ruins of Zeus’ temple before we head off on our journey, where you’ll be sure to feel the vibes of one of the most well known Greek gods.DelphiThe sacred lands of Delphi will be ours this afternoon, again allowing us the chance to uncover world history right here in Greece. Despite being a place of monumental importance, it happens to have a cute little bar scene, and is a great place to sample the national drink of ouzo.

Parnassus before we jump on the trail back to Athens.AthensWell there you have it, the true scope of Greece’s magnificence filed neatly into four incredible days.
