Itinerary

Corinth Canal

Your private tour will start from Athens and drive you through a scenic and beatiful landscape inside the Peloponnese peninsula.Our first stop is the magnificent structure of the Corinth Canal, which is in Peloponnese, the southern peninsula of Greece. The Corinth Canal conects the Saronic with the Corinthian Gulf in the Aegean Sea. A dream of the ancients, that came true in 1893. Time for rest and some amazing photos above the Corinth Canal.

15 minutes
Archaeological Museum of Sparta

Then drive towards Sparta, The home of the brave Spartans. Don't be desatisfied with the place, because the Spartans invest on their military NOT in their culture, that's why they became so fearless. They were following the "Agogi" system, training from their 7th year till their 30th age to be SOLDIERS. That was their profession !There are some cultural structures mainly built from the Romans on the 1st century AD, when they captured the city. You will visit the archaeological site, where is the Acropolis of Sparta ,olive trees and columns that prove the greatness of the city once. Have some great photos in front of King Leonidas Statue, who fought the Persian army in Thermopylae along with his 300 men. Then , you will visit the archaeological and the oil museum.

1 hour 30 minutes
Archaeological Site of Mystra

When you feel hungry get ready to taste the famous Greek cuisine and have a memorable lunch;the tour will guide you to a traditional tavern at the small village of Mystras.It's up to you to choose from a variety of flavors of the most known Greek dishes . Mystras was one of the last Byzantine Outposts and the place that Constantinos Palaiologos, last Byzantine emperor lived. Situated on the mount Taygetos, near to ancient Sparta and served the capital of the Byzintine Despotate of Morea in the 14th and 15th centuries.Very serious fortification buildings and churches can be found there from that time. There you will visit the palace and the monasteries in Mystras, beginning from the Fortress Gate and ending at the Main Gate. After that long visit, it is time to return back to Athens, having in our minds the Glory of Sparta and the Byzantine glamour of Mystras.

Magical and unforgettable

Tasos tailored the itinerary so that I could see Agia Theodora, an out of the way place that I would never have gotten to unless I hired a car. This place, along with the rich beauty of the Spartan mountains and the majesty of Mystras, made it a highly memorable trip. Tasos was very knowledgeable, a very careful driver and excellent company! Thank you so much :)

Worth the trip!

Didn't realize how far it was from Athens, but it's a surprise worth traveling for. Mystras has ruins that are remarkably well preserved, with vibrant colors in the wall paintings still visible. Sparta has a warriors spirit but little of it's past remains.

Great experience and amazing service

Great experience, we really enjoyed and tour guide (George) was really knowledgeable about Greek history and historic places Thanks George for an amazing experience Regards Oswaldo

We had an amazing experience with Enjoy Greece Tours

Published on Jan, 2020

Our driver was George, he was very attentive, we have been a family of 4 adults and 3 kids and George accommodate each age group and make sure we all where comfortable. It took us a little longer than planned to do all the sightseeing since we where with the kids, and George was patient to wait for us. Sights were gorgeous, specially at the top of the mountain of Mystras. Also later George arranged his fellow driver Costas to give us a ride to the airport, which was really nice as all of us could travel in the same car. I would recommend this company to my friends, and would drive with them again when we are in Greece next time.
