private tour by minivan

The Archaeological Museum of Nafplio and the 17^th century fortress of Palamidi reveal the city's importance through the ages.

We then proceed to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, renowned for its natural acoustics.

The day can be enriched with a visit to a traditional distillery where you can learn about one of the most well known Greek products, ouzo, or with a tour of an olive oil production facility at the nearby village of Lygourio, where you will learn more about Greece's oldest export product.

In the early afternoon, we depart for Dimitsana, a beautiful traditional mountain village where we spend the night.

Dimitsana's Water Power Museum awaits us for a guided tour of how the power of the Loussios River was harnessed through time.
Situated inside the Loussios Gorge, the 16^th century Prodromou Monastery offers a chance for an idyllic walk along the river bank.

Lunch will be served at a traditional farm before we head to Ancient Olympia where the day sums up.

We are at Ancient Olympia, at the place that Zeus selected to host the Olympic Games, at the site of the actual stadium where the Olympic Games were held every four years from the 8^th century BC until the 4^th AD. A detailed visit of the expansive site and superb archaeological museum are on the program.

Next stop is charming Nafpaktos and its 15^th century Venetian fortress, after crossing over from Peloponnese via the Charilaos Trikoupis bridge, a modern marvel of engineering.
From there, the route climbs to the southern slopes of Mount Parnassos, heading for the legendary city of Delphi.

This day of the tour delves into the rich past of Delphi, the city that owes its legend to the famous Oracle and its influence on most major events of ancient Greek history. We visit the site, the Tholos, the museum with the beautiful charioteer and many other unique exhibits, and then our route turns further north, towards the city of Kalambaka.

Kalabaka is the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Meteora, an impressive field of rock formations whose name literally translates to "hovering".
Once remote and almost inaccessible, they offered the perfect location for the development of the second biggest monastic community in Greece. Today there are still six Eastern Orthodox Christian monasteries in operation, nested on top of the rocks since Byzantine times.

After taking in the breathtaking scenery of Meteora, it's time to start our return back to Athens.
