A beautiful day has started and finally the dream that seemed unreachable comes true. The show begins with the columns of Acropolis that excite our interest as it has been doing every day for the past 25 centuries. The only difference is that you are the Guest Star of the day. The first rays of the morning sun that rise from the back of the mountain of Penteli, are in a hurry to see the view of Parthenon. Another day sunshine vows to the grandeur of history. Who can miss this view?

Our driver will pick you up early in the morning and the tour will begin on the unique Acropolis that hosts Parthenon, Erechteion, Propylaea, Mars Hill etc. We will continue visiting the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, Syntagma square (Constitution square) and other destination within the town. We will climb up the hill of Lycabettus to enjoy the breathtaking view. We will drive along Athens Riviera viewing the deep blue of the Aegean Sea and the fishing boats that bounce off the waves. Some skerries a bit further invite us to admire them and in no time we reach Cape Sounion. You will visit the temple of Poseidon that stands high and mighty on the rock beaten by the gods of the wind and the saltiness of the sea. A wonderful moment is when the sun disappears embracing the sea and the light of the Attica sky comes from the stars. Lunch in a tavern by the sea to taste the local cuisine of seafood and snacks and then we will return to the hotel in Athens. Tomorrow a surprise awaits you.

A wonderful day dawns that promises to excite your imagination. The blue color of the sea spreads out only for you and the tour begins when our driver picks you up from the hotel so that we can head towards the Isthmus of Corinth. You will live an exciting experience during a breathtaking trip which cannot be experienced anywhere in the world. You will board on a distinct ship, for just a few people, to tour Diolkos where you will be quite impressed due to the fact that the voyage is between two land points that connect continental Greece with Peloponnesus.

After the end of the voyage we will be transferred to the Ancient Town of Corinth where a love at first sight will be generated by offering gifts to the temple of the God Apollo. The old stone houses that have been standing high and mighty for a lot of centuries, the ruins of the old town and the exquisite findings will make you imagine that you go back to another era. They will revive the history and the legends. Corinth may have been the richest town of Classical Greece and a rival of Athens. It was the administrative center of the Roman Empire and for this reason Apostle Paul stayed for a long time and later wrote 2 letters to the Corinthians in his attempt to awake people and to deter them from a life of arrogance and greed. The view from Acrocorinth is breathtaking while your imagination will revive the sound of the horses’ galloping and the sound of the swords. The locals continue to pass on the love for the tradition of our civilization by keeping the customs and traditions of many centuries while the local cuisine with the traditional products and wine will may you feel profound emotions relaxing in the central square of the village.

The day is full of wonderful images and the tour will be completed viewing the sea of Saronic a while before it extends its blue embrace to put our sun to sleep. The tour in Athens may have finished but you can take with you the experiences of a lifetime, the grandeur of civilization, the historical narrations, the gastronomical delights and the nostalgia to come back.
