The Amazing open THEATRE OF EPIDAURUS The priests of the sanctuary of Asclepius were excellent surgeons. The administration of the Asclipieion, in order to entertain the patients, decided to build a theatre. Today, next to the sanctuary of Asclepius, there is a small museum, displaying the instruments and tools used by the priests, performing even brain operations.

NAFPLION – A “Venician” town in Greece.
The influence is everywhere. Modern architecture hasn’t spoiled the old town, which is a feast for the eye. Nafplion was the capital of the Greek state in the early 1830s. Here, is the first residential palace for the young Bavarian Prince, Otto, the first king of modern Greece after the revolution against the Turks. A beautiful old town with old mansions and paved roads. The two fortresses, Palamidi and Akronafplia, played a key role during the war of independence.

MYCENAE – A “city rich in gold” Mycenae, the city that controlled both the land and sea routes, was the kingdom of king Agamemnon. Myths related to history have inspired poets and writers over the centuries from Homer and the Greek tragedies of the classical period to contemporary literary and artistic creations. The site was uncovered in 1874 by Heinrich Schlieman, who also excavated the site of Troy. You enter the citadel through the impressive Lions’ Gate.

OLYMPIA & the OLYMPIC GAMES The site of Olympia, was the location of the ancient Olympic Games, with the first recorded win in 776 BC. In addition to the numerous temples and sanctuaries, there are remains of sporting structures, such as the ancient Stadium, the Gymnasium, the Palaestra and others.

DELPHI – The famous “temple bank”. The pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, location on the oracle of Apollo, was the spiritual centre of the Greek world. Situated in a spectacular natural setting on the Mt. Parnassus, it was the symbol of Greek cultural unity from the 8th c. BC onwards.

Driving from Delphi to Kalambaka you stop at Thermopyllae, the place where Leonidas and the 300 Spartans fought the Persians. Overnight in kalambaka.

METEORA – A unique “ART OF NATURE”. Travel on the rocks of Meteora and with the tour guide, visit 2 monasteries that are open on the day that you visit Meteora. Return to Kalambaka for lunch and after lunch start the return and arrive in Athens at +/- 19:30
