• Athens - The journey begins from your hotel or chosen accommodation. It will take approximately 1 hour to reach the Corinth Canal.
• Corinth Canal - The tour starts with a scenic drive along the coast, offering views of charming Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis, known for the historic naval battle between the Athenians and Persians. The first stop is the Corinth Canal, which opened in 1892, separating the Peloponnese peninsula from mainland Greece and linking the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. There will be time to walk across a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal up close and capture beautiful photos.
• Archaeological Site of Mystras - Following the canal visit, the tour proceeds to Mystras, traveling through the mountainous landscape of the southern Peloponnese peninsula. Upon arrival, the unique significance of Mystras becomes apparent. Known as the ghost city, it is fortified on a citadel and is one of the two places in Greece that preserves medieval churches, ordinary houses, mansions, and palaces of the Byzantine Empire, combined with Frankish elements.
• Mystras - As you explore the site, reaching the citadel offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding areas. Descending, you will encounter the palaces and Royal courtyards. Despite being called the ghost city, many monasteries remain active, and the monks are happy to guide you through their community. Before leaving, you will find the chapel of St. Demetrios, where a plaque depicting a two-headed eagle, the symbol of Byzantium, remains. It was here that Konstantine Palaiologos knelt before being crowned the last emperor of Byzantium.
• Acropolis and Ancient Theater - Sparta, known as the eternal rival of Athenian Democracy, followed a different cosmological theory in ancient Greek times. Initially recognized as the birthplace of Helen of Troy and the Kingdom of Menelaus during the Mycenaean period, Sparta was organized as a purely military society in ancient Greece. It was the city of two Kings, ruled by a few aristocrats, and the city from which Leonidas and his 300 Spartans marched to face the Persian army at Thermopylae in 480 BCE.
• Leonidas Monument - Continuing the tour in Sparta, you will pass by the stadium where the statue of King Leonidas stands, marking the endpoint of the Spartathlon race (Athens – Sparta 245.3 km).
• Museum of the Olive and Greek Olive Oil - The tour includes a visit to the museum of olive and olive oil, where you will learn about Greece’s most famous products.
• Areopoli - The name Areopoli, meaning “city of Ares,” the ancient Greek god of war, became official in 1912. It was the seat of the Oitylo municipality. The Greek War of Independence began in Areopoli on March 17, 1821, led by Petros Pierrakos, also known as Petros Mavromichalis, the last bey of Mani. Today, Areopoli has developed into a thriving town. Its tower houses, built with field stones, stand out from the traditional blue and white buildings typical of many Greek villages.
• Limeni - Limeni is a village in Mani, located in the southern part of the Peloponnese, known for its unique natural beauty, tradition, and history. This hidden gem remains largely undiscovered by tourists, retaining its original charm. Upon arrival, the turquoise waters and impressive stone towers along the coast are striking. As you wander through the narrow alleys, the simplicity and beauty of this little jewel of the Peloponnese captivate you.
