Tour privato di 2 giorni a Sparta, Mystras e Monemvasia - Pernottamento
Descrizione
Il sito di Sparta è completamente circondato da grandi catene montuose. A differenza di altre antiche città greche, Sparta non era un compatto centro città-stato fortificato con monumentali edifici civili e religiosi. Era una raccolta libera di piccoli villaggi distribuiti su una vasta area rurale e 6 basse colline. Il più alto di questi colli serviva da acropoli e sede del Tempio di Atena Chalkioikos. Nel periodo ellenistico furono costruiti un teatro, una stoa e un'agora vicino all'acropoli, ma il Tempio di Atena e i resti precedenti nel santuario di Artemide Ortia sulla sponda occidentale dell'Eurotas sono quasi gli unici resti archeologici dell'Arcaico e della Sparta classica. Il complesso delle rovine di Mystras offre l'immagine di una città con un destino brillante che è stato abbandonato dagli uomini e minacciato dal ritorno di una vegetazione invadente che sta spaccando le pareti e coprendo i pendii, distruggendo così qua e là fragili tracce di storia. Nel 1989 le rovine tra cui il palazzo della fortezza, le chiese e i monasteri furono nominati patrimonio mondiale dell'Unesco! Visita la mistica torre di Mystras e lasciati catturare dallo splendore medievale di questa destinazione. Passeggia per la città del castello e percepisci attraverso il silenzio la pura grandezza della città. Passeggia tranquillamente attraverso il "Kastro" (il Castello dei Franchi), la Città Alta e la Città Bassa, la cui architettura crea un ambiente da sogno. Con gli occhi delle tue menti visualizza i principi e le principesse franchi che vivono in palazzi signorili; arrivano delegazioni straniere che portano doni e pellegrini o commercianti contadini che riempiono le affollate strade. La monemvasia in Grecia è uno dei luoghi più romantici del paese. Una città castello medievale scolpita esclusivamente sulle pendici di una roccia. Questo luogo fantastico è stato originariamente costruito nel Medioevo ed è stato continuamente abitato da allora. Un monumento del patrimonio culturale mondiale e una grande attrazione per ogni viaggiatore nel Peloponneso e in tutta la Grecia ha un'atmosfera magica unica e una storia affascinante. Monumenti e chiese sono sparsi per la città vecchia. Un'importante collezione archeologica è ospitata nella vecchia moschea nella piazza di Elkomenos Christos. Oggi la maggior parte delle vecchie dimore sono state convertite in pensioni e hotel boutique. Anche le autentiche taverne, i favolosi ristoranti e le accoglienti caffetterie contribuiscono alla scintilla di Monemvasia. Fuori dalla Rocca, c'è una nuova città moderna con molte strutture turistiche. Costruita all'ombra della Rocca su cui sorge la fortezza medievale, la nuova città di Monemvasia è diventata una vivace destinazione turistica a sé stante. Una grande varietà di ristoranti e bar dell'hotel attira migliaia di visitatori tutto l'anno. Sia all'interno che nei dintorni di Monemvasia vi sono numerose eccellenti spiagge pulite e cristalline.

I had the exact once-in-a-lifetime experience which I hoped for as someone highly interested in ancient Greece, early Christian and Byzantine culture. Moreover, the scheduled tour guide, Peter K. is so convivial, knowledgeable, responsible and receptive to all questions. My dream of better understanding these cultures via personal experience honed in on Ancient Greece Tours and Transfers, as these sites were key locations in the early Greek culture. Peter K. and I freely spoke through the entire trip and since Corinth was on the way to Sparta, provided an additional chance to the seen the ancient and modern canals connecting the two seas, each of these being monumental engineering feats. While Sparta is a city rebuilt in the 19th Century, Peter K. connected the ancient times with history, the moderns representations and monuments, as well as Sparta's present role in an annual race. Mystras is a hands-on amazing adventure of a near-entire city in ruins with amazingly preserved Byzantine churches with frescos - a 20 euro fee for lifetime memories.. Moderately challenging hiking is needed to explore the upper and lower parts, and better starting with the upward climb to the fort. The Byzantine churches made the ending incredible. One church docent was incredibly kind to have me photograph the well-preserved mosaics (no flash use allowed). Monemvasia is epic though. The sea at sunset, an incredible hotel on the ismuthus' end and the mixture of a modern village and the ancient fortifications / churches, is breathtaking against the royal blue sea. The hike to upper town and church is moderately technical, so be advised that being careful will reward in exhilarating views. An logistic I had to accept that as a solo traveler, there was no shared pricing. I wish that was different. However, the experiential value was absolutely worth it. I hope to return to Monemvasia and would be eager if Ancient Greek Tours and Peter K. could be part of that adventure.

We had a wonderful journey!!!! Monemvasia was like living in a fairy tale. We hiked up to the fort and church. The frescos in the church were beautiful. The next morning we got up to watch sunrise. We pretty much had the whole village to ourselves. Tas was an awesome driver and historian. Mystra was amazing. Tas drove us to the top and we walked down. Much easier and more convenient than hiking uphill in the heat.
Hello Therese, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that your journey through Monemvasia and Mystra was nothing short of magical. It sounds like you truly immersed yourselves in the beauty and history of ancient Greece, from the stunning frescos in the church to the peaceful sunrise over the village. Tas is indeed a gem, combining his expertise as a driver and historian to enhance your experience. We're thrilled to have been a part of your unforgettable adventure. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more exploration soon!
Since we had planned to spend 3 nights in Monemvasia, I contacted Ancient Greece Tours & Transfer to arrange the transportation for us between Athens and Monemvasia. Yiannis, our driver, was awesome! He was very attentive to our need for coffee breaks and restroom stops. He spoke great English and was very knowledgeable about Greek mythology, history and culture. We asked many questions and learned a lot from him. The drive, 4.5 hours each way, didn’t seem that long with interesting conversations with him. Monemvasia is a unique destination with amazing historical sites and beautiful view. On our way there, we visited Mystras for about 2 hours. It was the last major Byzantine culture center by the 15th century and is now an UNESCO site. We truly enjoyed the Monemvasia-Mystras tour and would highly recommend it with Yiannis!
It was an absolutely amazing experience, Tas our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and very considerate. I would recommend this company to anyone, this trip meant a great deal to us and the service was above and beyond. I learned a lot, I was able to relax and enjoy myself and my grandmother was able to go at her own pace, it was a lovely tour. For the Tripadvisor category, I was with my elderly grandmother, not young children, but there was no option to chose family travel without children.
Our two day trip went really well! Our taxi guide was brilliant, very understanding of our desires and gave us time to enjoy each place. We were in no rush for time. In addition, he gave us great places to eat and drink and we have never been disappointed! I recommend this tour and this taxi guide which was awesome! Thank you again 😄
Thank you so so much for your wonderful review! Monemvasia is truly magical and Mystras breathtaking! It was my pleasure being your chauffeur/tourist guide and introducing you to parts of the Peloponesse. We pride ourselves with our Black Edition luxury vehicles and our aim is to bring a smile to our valued guests creating wonderful memories for them. Im sure you will enjoy the rest of your holidays in Greece! Have fun! Tas
I was very happy with this tour and the cape sounion sunset tour that I booked through Ancient Greece tours! Nothing was a hassle for the owner Tas, who tailed the tours to our needs. I travelled with my two parents, who also really enjoyed the tours. The car was clean, we had bottles of water and cookies provided and wifi in the car. Tas also took us to great restaurants, excellent food and good prices. Tas was also an informative tour guide about all the places we visited! So if you want to avoid big tour groups and travel in comfort and style, I would definitely recommend Ancient Greece Tours! Thanks Tas and team!
