• Corinth Canal - The journey begins 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, inaugurated in 1892, which separates the Peloponnese peninsula from mainland Greece and links the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. Visitors can walk across a pedestrian bridge for a closer look at the canal, and on certain days, bungee jumping is available for the adventurous.
• Archaeological Site of Mystras - After visiting the canal, the tour continues towards Mystras, traveling through the mountainous terrain of the southern Peloponnese peninsula. Upon arrival, the uniqueness of Mystras becomes evident. Known as the ghost city, it is fortified on a citadel and is one of the few places in Greece that preserves medieval churches, ordinary houses, mansions, and palaces from the Byzantine Empire, along with Frankish influences.
• Archaeological Site of Mystras - Exploring the site, visitors can reach the citadel at the upper point and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding areas. As they descend, they will encounter palaces and royal courtyards. Despite being called a ghost city, many monasteries are still active, and monks are happy to guide visitors through their community. Before leaving, visitors 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 - The tour then proceeds to Sparta, known as the eternal rival of Athenian Democracy. Sparta had a distinct cosmological theory compared to ancient Greek standards. 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 origin of Leonidas and his 300 Spartans who marched to face the Persian army at Thermopylae in 480 BCE.
• Leonidas Monument - The tour continues past 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 - A visit to the museum of olive and olive oil offers insights into one of Greece’s most renowned products.
• Athens - The tour concludes with a drive back to Athens.
