Opções de passeio
Itinerário
A primeira parada é o Canal de Corinto. É um canal que foi finalmente construído em 1890, embora a ideia da sua passagem já existisse desde 602 aC. A vista daqui é de tirar o fôlego.
O local de nascimento dos Jogos Olímpicos, o estádio que aconteceu os Jogos de 776 aC até 393 dC, 12 séculos de glória, 12 séculos de honra e vitória. Olympia foi estabelecido na Grécia como o centro religioso e esportivo mais importante. O sítio arqueológico de Olympia, um dos maiores do país, nos deu um dos conjuntos mais ricos de monumentos e obras de arte, como Hermes de Praxiteles. Aqui veremos, além do estádio (45 mil lugares), os templos de Hera e Zeus, o Philippion, a casa do Conselho, o laboratório de Feidias e no museu o casco do MILTIADIS que venceu os persas na maratona 490 aC.
O tour tem duas opções que você pode escolher qual você gosta. A primeira opção é visitar A Grande Caverna de Gortynia, que foi construída sobre uma rocha da Lousios Gorge. Segundo a tradição, o mosteiro foi construído durante o século XII por monges que viviam em ermitas próximas. No final do pequeno pátio do mosteiro, com sua fonte de pedra (1748), uma porta pesada e imponente que carrega os buracos das balas dos turcos de 1779. O interior, bem como parte da rocha que a rodeia, são adornados com frescos do século 16. Os monges acolhedores oferecem aos devotos café, água refrescante e azeitonas enquanto desfrutam da vista única da garganta de paraísos ascéticos. O mosteiro possui uma importante biblioteca, enquanto os monges praticam a arte da iconografia e costura de vestes eclesiásticas.
Segunda opção de natação e almoço perto do mar. Depois de um mergulho na história, vamos fazer um mergulho em uma das praias mais bonitas do Peloponeso, localizada perto da antiga Olympia. Lá também teremos almoço antes do nosso regresso a Atenas. (Nadar na praia, diz respeito aos meses de verão)

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.
