Overview of your Athens tour:

Why this tour? To experience the birthplace of the most important athletic event of all times, the Olympic Games but also authentic Greece, from a local point of view. A full-day trip to the most celebrated sanctuary of ancient Greece; Ancient Olympia the "Valley of Gods". To explore the Peloponnese which retains a great deal of authenticity and combines diverse natural landscapes, major cultural landmarks, and is ideal for road trips like this tour. You, as a visitor to Olympia, will have a chance to run down the original Olympic track and visit the museum. The Olympic Games were held at this location every four years throughout Classical antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Lunch and drinks will be our treat, for you to experience some really authentic Greek culinary delights in a non-touristy location. An important part of all my tours.
