Greece Tours

DELPHI TOUR

Delphi is famous as the ancient sanctuary that grew rich as the seat of the oracle that was consulted on important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. Moreover, it was considered as the navel (or centre) of the world by the Greeks as represented by the Omphalos.

It occupies an impressive site on the south-western slope of Mount Parnassus overlooking the coastal plain to the south and the valley of Phocis. It is now an extensive archaeological site and the modern town is nearby.

It is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a phenomenal influence in the Ancient world, as evidenced by the rich monuments built there by most of the important ancient Greek city-states, demonstrating their fundamental Hellenic unity. 

ARGOLIS - MYCENAE TOUR

We drive the coastal road along the Saronic Gulf to the Corinth Canal, which connects the Aegean with the Ionian Sea. We visit Mycenae, the Homeric city of Atreides, where you can see the Lion Gate, the Cyclopean Walls, the Royal Tombs, the Archaeological Museum.

Then we depart for Nafplion, a picturesque town with Venetian architecture and the wonderful fortress of Palamidi on the top of a hill. Continue for Epidaurus to visit the marvelous Ancient Theatre (4th century B.C.), famous for the perfect design and acoustics. 

ANCIENT OLYMPIA TOUR

Olympia a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula, is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times.

The sanctuary, known as the Altis, consists of an unordered arrangement of various buildings. Enclosed within the temenos are the Temple of Hera, the Temple of Zeus, the Pelopion, and the area of the altar, where the sacrifices were made.

Olympia was also known for the gigantic ivory and gold statue of Zeus that used to stand there, sculpted by Pheidias, which was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Antipater of Sidon. Very close to the Temple of Zeus which housed this statue, the studio of Pheidias was excavated in the 1950s. Evidence found there, such as sculptor's tools, corroborates this opinion. The ancient ruins sit north of the Alfeios River and south of Mount Kronos. 

METEORA TOUR

The Meteora literally "middle of the sky", "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above" is a formation of immense monolithic pillars and hills like huge rounded boulders dominate the local area.

It is also associated with one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second in importance only to Mount Athos. The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece.

Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
