Itinerario
Comenzando con un paseo por la costa, tendrá la oportunidad de ver algunos pueblos costeros griegos y la isla de Salamina. Salamina es donde tuvo lugar la histórica batalla naval entre los atenienses y los persas. Nuestra primera parada del día, el Canal de Corinto. Finalmente se abrió en 1892 separando el Peloponeso del resto de Grecia mientras conectaba el Golfo Sarónico con el Mar de Corinto. Al tener tiempo para cruzar un puente peatonal y admirar el canal más de cerca, puede hacer puenting algunos días (si es un juego).
Visitaremos el sitio arqueológico y el museo de la antigua Olimpia. Este es uno de los sitios más grandes de Grecia, el lugar de nacimiento de los Juegos Olímpicos y el Santuario de Zeus Olímpico. Caminando por el sitio pasarás por el Gimnasio, el Palaistra, el taller de Fidias, el Templo de Zeus y terminarás en el Estadio donde cada cuatro años los griegos competían por la gloria y la elevación espiritual en honor a sus ciudades.
El museo también es bastante único, ya que incluye la famosa estatua "Hermes de Praxiteles" con sus perfectas analogías y herramientas que pertenecieron al propio Fidias. Con las herramientas creó una de las siete maravillas del mundo "la estatua de Zeus en marfil de oro".
El Museo de Historia de los Juegos Olímpicos Antiguos alberga 463 obras antiguas, del Templo de Zeus en Olimpia, y otros museos en el territorio griego. Las exhibiciones cubren un amplio rango cronológico, desde el segundo milenio antes de Cristo hasta el siglo V d. C.

Además del arte antiguo, el visitante tiene la posibilidad de obtener información detallada a través del rico material visual.

We went to so many places. It was an ideal day for us. We only had one full day in Athens. We feel like we saw everything we wanted to see. Talis was a great driver and told us about everything. He was very good. Would highly recommend him. Lunch was really good. All in all it was a perfect day.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear Talis made your day in Athens so memorable and that you enjoyed the journey and lunch. Your recommendation means a lot!

Thank you, Sandra! We're thrilled to hear Alexander made your tour so special. Your kind words mean a lot, and we'll be sure to share them with him. We hope to welcome you and your family again!
Stephanos MALATOS was a great guide- he briefed us on the various sites just prior to entering and oriented us on where we entered and where we would exit. He gave us enough time to explore on our own and kept in touch via what’s app. The lunch was wonderful and he picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. Very knowledgeable and very personable.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear Stephanos made your tour enjoyable with his knowledge and thoughtful approach. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him.
The 6 of us- grandparents, parents, kids- all enjoyed the trip. Anthony shared his knowledge and the drive was interesting. We had a great day!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your whole family enjoyed the trip and that Anthony made it even more memorable with his insights. We hope to welcome you all again soon!
This tour was amazing and a must do for anyone visiting Greece. It is a bit of a drive from Athens but definitely worth the trip. Our driver, Nasos, was wonderful. He has a detailed and thorough knowledge of the site. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I highly recommend this tour company, and be sure to request Nasos as your driver!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour and Nasos made it memorable for you. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’ll let Nasos know you appreciated his efforts!
The private tour by Olive Sea Travel is excellent! It was a great way to end our 14-day Greece holiday. Highly recommend the trip to Ancient Olympia. It is such a massive, awesome archaelogical site! Get the combined ticket that include admission to the 2 museums - it's well worth it. And do race down the 600 ft track at the stadium when you get there! Super fun! A special mention on Yannis, our tour guide. He is so warm, friendly and accommodating. Despite the long drive from Athens, it was never boring as we could chat with Yannis and learn from him much about Greece. Thanks Yannis for suggesting the little village (can't recall the name) you brought us for lunch. Such a peaceful village and cosy family restaurant. Great food and good value! --(Ruth, Karen and KC from Singapore)

We had a private tour from Athens anf the drive itself was scenic. We could see the Corinth canal and the seat of Ancient Olympics. The two museums are a must see.
