Olympia Private Shore Excursions |
|
Olympia is the stuff Greek legends are made of - many myths originated from this fabled peninsula. The striking landscape is dotted with historical sites, classical temples and Byzantine cities just waiting to be explored. Take a private Olympia shore excursion and discover this land of the gods with a local guide.
Adventures galore beckon in the Peloponnese. In ancient Mycenae, you will learn about the rise and fall of the great Mycenaean civilization and even see inside the tomb of King Agamemnon. Your guide will suggest taking you to the birthplace of the Olympic Games at the sanctuary of Olympia. The city of Nafplio was Greece's first capital; today this lively and romantic city is one of Greece's prettiest. Near ancient Corinth, you can witness the Corinth Canal as it carves a waterway between the Aegean and Adriatic Seas.
Your guide is happy to customize a private Peloponnese shore excursion that reflects your unique travel interests in ancient Greece. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Greece requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory.
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error
