Resplan
Första stoppet är Canal of Corinth. Det är en kanal som slutligen byggdes 1890, även om tanken på dess passage fanns redan från 602 f.Kr. Utsikten härifrån är hisnande.
Födelseplatsen för olympiska spel, stadion som hände spelen från 776 f.Kr. till 393 e.Kr., 12 århundraden av ära, 12 århundraden för ära och seger. Olympia etablerades i Grekland som det viktigaste religiösa och idrottscentrumet. Den arkeologiska platsen Olympia, en av de största i landet, gav oss en av de rikaste uppsättningar av monument och konstverk, såsom Hermes av Praxiteles. Här kommer vi att se, förutom stadion (45 000 platser), templen Hera och Zeus, Filippien, rådets hus, laboratoriet Feidias och i museet HJÄLMEN GENERAL MILTIADIS som vann perserna på maraton 490 f.Kr.
Turen har 2 alternativ du kan välja vilket du vill. första alternativet är att besöka Den stora grottan Gortynia, som har byggts på en klippa i Lousios Gorge. Enligt traditionen byggdes klostret under 1100-talet av munkar som bodde i närliggande eremitage. I slutet av klostrets lilla innergård, med sin stenbyggda fontän (1748), en tung, imponerande dörr som bär hålen från turkarnas kulor 1779. Interiören, liksom en del av klippan som omger den, är utsmyckade med fresker från 1500-talet. De välkomnande munkarna erbjuder tillbedjare kaffe, uppfriskande vatten och oliver medan de njuter av den unika utsikten över klyftan av asketiska paradis. Klostret har ett betydande bibliotek, medan munkarna praktiserar ikonografi och sömnad av kyrkliga kläder.
Andra alternativet bad & lunch nära havet. Efter ett dopp i historien tar vi ett dopp i en av Peloponnesos vackraste stränder, som ligger nära det antika Olympia. Där äter vi också lunch innan vi återvänder till Aten. (Bad på stranden, gäller sommarmånaderna)

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.
