Detailed Private Tour Itinerary
Day 1 - Argolis
Your 5-day tour of Argolis, Olympia, Delphi, Thermopylae, and Meteora begins with a scenic seaside drive around the port of Piraeus, passing through the industrial areas of Aspropirgos and Eleusina. Along the way, you’ll see oil derricks and shipyards, with a view of Salamis Island, where the Athenians defeated the Persian Empire in the naval Battle of Salamis in 486 B.C.
Continuing along the Argo-Saronic Gulf, you’ll reach the Isthmus of Corinth, where you’ll stop for about 15 minutes to explore the impressive Corinth Canal, which separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.
Next, you’ll head to Ancient Corinth and the Acrocorinth, a fortified acropolis offering stunning views. A short drive around the archaeological site showcases key landmarks such as the Temple of Apollo, the Agora, and the Bema (where Apostle Paul preached). You’ll have about an hour to explore these ancient ruins.
From here, it’s a short drive to the Acrocorinth fort, perched 575 meters above sea level, featuring layers of Greek, Byzantine, Frankish, and Venetian architecture. The highest point houses the ruins of the Temple of Aphrodite.
The next destination is Mycenae, about 30 minutes away. Explore the famous Lion’s Gate, the Cyclopean Walls, the ruins of Agamemnon’s Palace, and the Tomb of Atreus. You’ll spend about 60 minutes exploring this key site of the Mycenaean civilization.
The day ends in the beautiful seaport town of Nafplio, known for its Venetian charm and historic landmarks such as the Palamidi Fortress, Acronafplia, and Bourtzi. Visitors can choose to stop for lunch in the seaside town of Tolo before arriving in Nafplio for the night.
Day 2 - Epidaurus
Begin with a 40-minute drive to Epidaurus, home to the famous Ancient Theatre with remarkable acoustics, still in use today for performances. You’ll also visit the Asclepion, an ancient healing center dedicated to the god of medicine, Asclepius. Plan for about an hour at these sites.
Afterward, head west into the Peloponnese, passing through the mountains and gorges of Arcadia for a scenic 3.5-hour drive to Ancient Olympia, where the Alpheios and Kladeos rivers meet. After a brief tour of the old town of Olympia, the rest of the day is yours to relax and enjoy views from a 4-star hotel.
Day 3 - Olympia
Start your day exploring the archaeological site of Olympia, where the Olympic Games were born. This extensive site takes about three hours to visit and includes highlights like the Temple of Zeus, the Olympic Games Museum, the Stadium, and the Workshop of Pheidias, where the statue of Zeus (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) was created.
After lunch, drive 4.5 hours to Delphi, crossing the impressive Rio-Antirio Bridge. On the way, stop at the coastal town of Nafpaktos to see the old port fortifications and the statue of Miguel de Cervantes, who fought in the 1571 Battle of Lepanto.
Arrive in Delphi in the evening, with time to unwind and take in views of the Pleistos Valley from your hotel.
Day 4 - Delphi
Delphi, the spiritual center of ancient Greece, awaits you today. Spend about 2.5 to 3 hours exploring the Temple of Apollo, the famous Oracle, the Amphitheater, the ancient Treasuries, the Stadium, and the circular Temple of Athena Pronea.
Afterward, enjoy an authentic Greek lunch at a local taverna with stunning views over the olive tree-filled Pleistos Valley and the Gulf of Corinth.
Later, a 2.5-hour drive takes you to Kalambaka, a town nestled beneath the towering rocks of Meteora. End the day with a visit to one of Meteora’s monasteries, where you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the valley.
Day 5 - Meteora and Thermopylae
Start early with a visit to Meteora’s monasteries, perched on towering rock formations. Six monasteries are open to visitors, with each offering unique architecture, stunning views, and religious significance. Spend 30-60 minutes at each monastery, depending on accessibility and interest.
Around midday, begin the drive back to Athens, with a stop at Thermopylae. Spend about 30-60 minutes visiting the interactive museum, learning about the heroic Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., and viewing monuments to King Leonidas and the Thespians who fought alongside the Spartans.
The tour concludes with a relaxing drive back to Athens as the sun sets, marking the end of your journey through Greece’s most legendary sites.
