Explore the wonders of the Peloponnese on a 2-day private tour from Athens. Visit the ruins of the Ancient Acropolis, the Byzantine city of Mystras, and the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
Day 1: Athens to Sparta and Mystras
Your Dream Tour begins with an early pickup in the morning from your designated point in Athens with a private vehicle and an English-speaking driver. As you depart from Athens and travel along the coastal road of the Saronic Gulf, your first stop is at the Corinth Canal, an impressive engineering marvel that connects the Aegean with the Ionian Sea. After a short break for photos, the tour continues toward Sparta, a city deeply tied to Greece’s legendary warrior culture. Upon arrival, you can visit the ruins of the Ancient Acropolis, where political and social activities once took place and continue to take photos at the statue of Leonidas, the Legendary King of Sparta. You will then head to the nearby Byzantine city of Mystras. This UNESCO World Heritage site, nestled on the slopes of Mount Taygetos, offers an enchanting glimpse into medieval Greece with its well-preserved palaces, monasteries, and stunning panoramic views. You can walk through the ancient ruins, admire the intricate frescoes in the churches, and immerse yourselves in the history of this once-thriving Byzantine capital.
Following the visit to Mystras, the experience continues with a stop at Sparta's Olive Oil Museum, where you can gain insight into Greece’s deep-rooted olive cultivation tradition. You learn about the historical production of olive oil, its significance in Greek culture, and the role it plays in Mediterranean cuisine.
