Rejseplan
Første stop er Canal of Corinth. Det er en kanal, der endelig blev bygget i 1890, selvom ideen om dens passage allerede eksisterede fra 602 f.Kr. Udsigten herfra er betagende.
Fødestedet for olympiske lege, stadion, der fandt sted de olympiske lege fra 776 f.Kr. til 393 e.Kr., 12 århundreder af herlighed, 12 århundreder for ære og sejr. Olympia blev etableret i Grækenland som det vigtigste religiøse og sportslige center. Den arkæologiske site Olympia, en af de største i landet, gav os en af de rigeste sæt af monumenter og kunstværker, såsom Hermes af Praxiteles. Her vil vi se, ud over stadion (45.000 pladser), templerne af Hera og Zeus, Philippion, rådhuset, laboratoriet af Feidias og i museet hjelmen af general MILTIADIS, der vandt perserne i maraton 490 f.Kr.
Turen har 2 muligheder, du kan vælge, hvilken du vil. Første mulighed er at besøge Grotten af Gortynia, som er bygget på en klippe af Lousios Gorge. Ifølge traditionen blev klostret bygget i det 12. århundrede af munker, der boede i nærliggende hermitager. I slutningen af klosterets lille gårdhave, med dens stenbyggede fonten (1748), en tung, imponerende dør, der bærer hullerne fra tyrkernes kugler 1779. Interiøret, såvel som en del af klippen, der omgiver det, er udsmykket med freskoer fra det 16. århundrede. De indbydende munke tilbyder tilbedere kaffe, forfriskende vand og oliven, mens de nyder den unikke udsigt over kløften af asketiske paradiser. Klosteret har et betydeligt bibliotek, mens munkene praktiserer kunsten at ikonografere og sy kirkelige klæder.
Anden mulighed svømning og frokost tæt på havet. Efter et dykk i historien, vil vi gå for et dykk i en af de smukkeste strande i Peloponnese, beliggende i nærheden af gamle Olympia. Der vil vi også spise frokost før vores tilbagevenden til Athen. (Svømme på stranden, vedrører sommermånederne)

This tour was wonderful, it had a great guide and itinerary. It is a long day to do all the way from Athens, but it is worth it if you are passionate about Greek history. I would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic time on this trip! Anastasios is a great guide and so knowledgable about all the places we visited. It would have been very hard for us to visit these sites by ourselves and it was the most reasonable price we found so it’s good value for money. The swimming was also a nice touch at the end and was refreshing after walking around ancient Olympia. Would highly recommend if you have spare time in Athens!
Long drive but great reward to see the Olympic stadium. Pan was a great guide and took us to a seaside restaurant that was the best meal I had in Greece.
It was a special trip with a great guide and excellent companion. I would recommend visiting with a small party despite the extra cost. It meant better interaction with the guide and a chance to develop a relationship with someone new.
Basically this was just a ride to Olympia and back, not really worth over $200 per person. There were no snacks, you paid for everything you did and from what I could tell, there was no entrance fee to the beach. When we reached olympia we were told to go pay for our tickets and then he would meet us at the exit. Beach towels were not in good condition and were carried in a plastic grocery bag. We could have rented a car and gone on our own for $500 less. Pan was a nice man and answered our questions if we had them but this tour is way overpriced.
I think everything is clear in Viator as you can see in our product says what included and what not included " What's excluded Ticket for the archaeological site of Olympia Lunch " Of course it will be cheaper to rent a car and driving 550 km / 350 miles than have a driver for private tour for 13 hours. The snack was the 4 different kind of Greek koulouri that you get at the begging of the trip. The towels was in a green bag not grocery one and due to covid instructions after washed in 90 degrees with chlorine they stay in green bag closed. For the beach bar on Sundays there is fee for sun chairs but daily there is no fee. I am sorry that you feel that you spend a lot of money but i dont think that this is right . The trip was provided 12 hours you did 13 hours the driver ask you if you want to stay more in the beach and make the trip 14 hours , they was not any rush in time in all trip, you was only two guests and we visit everything that describe in tour plus the seaside way to ancient Olympia, we spoke a lot of history and mythology. Be sure that the price you paid was not expensive (viator fee is 24% and then 24% the tax - vat) .
If you are wondering whether or not to book, go for it! You will have made the right decision. And above all, you will come away understanding the deeper meanings of Greek Antiquity. I couldn't have had this experience on my own and the host was very informative and kind. It was certainly beyond all my expectations during my holiday in Athens.
Our day with Pan was magical. I'm still awestruck that we fit so many things into one day. Pan was extra attentive and aware of our needs and just the perfect, perfect host. His passion for history is infectious and his storytelling really makes a difference to how you view the places you will go on this trip. There is the mythological side and the reality side and everything he discusses has balance between the two. All three of us who spent the day with Pan feel the same - it was the best decision we made for our trip to Athens.
