Full Day Tour of Ancient Greece in Peloponnese. The Dawn of the world

We are going to visit the oldest region of Greece, the land of the Pelasgians. The area that the ancient Greeks and Romans characterized, older than the Moon, the homeland of Zeus and Pan. Especially on Mount Lycaeon you will feel that you are in the setting of myths. The name "Lycaeon" is probably not accidental, in Greek it means: Dawn … Around here is the cave where Zeus was born, the source where Rhea was purified, the place where Zeus first made Hera his own and much more. We will also visit to the medieval town of Karitaina, where we will have our meal. Today it is one of the most picturesque villages of the Peloponnese, which is usually called "Toledo of Greece", and was one of the most important medieval fortresses of the Peloponnese. Great sights there are the stone bridge of the 13th century, but also the castle built here by the French Knight De Brigier in 1245.

* First stop at the Canal of Corinth. It is a canal that was finally built in 1890, although the idea of its passage already existed from 602 BC. Driving there we will also pass from the important ancient city Elefsis, well known for the Great Elefsinian mysteries. * Lycosura: is the place where the oldest city that ever appeared on earth (according to Pausanias) was located. Here we will meet the worship of pre-Olympian deities, those who existed before Zeus, and we will visit the temples and the museum. * Mount Lycaeon: the starting point of the worldview that Western societies follow today, it is the place of the beginning of the myths, the place of birth of Zeus, the place where everything took place. Here are the natural sanctuaries of Pan (caves) and the temple of Lycaeus Zeus. * Medieval town of Karitaina, where we will have our meal. Today it is one of the most picturesque villages of the Peloponnese, which is usually called "Toledo of Greece", and was one of the most important medieval fortresses.
