About this excursion
A great suggestion for a private day tour so as to visit some of the most interesting and impressive places in Peloponnese.
Our first stop will be at the Corinth Canal and its “Isthmus” (neck in Ancient Greek). A 6km marvel of ancient and modernengineering, the Canal connects the Aegean and the Ionian Sea. After our short stop there, we continue to visit Tripoli, where we can stop for coffee, and then reach famous Ancient Olympia.
Birthplace of the Olympic Games, a religious and sports center, Ancient Olympia will take your breath away. Feel the energy of this historical site and let yourself be transported back in time. See the Temples of Hera, of Zeus, the Ancient Stadium, the Palaestra and the workshop of famed sculptor Pheidias, creator of the chryselephantine statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. In the Museum of Olympia you will see such masterpieces as the Hermes of Praxitelis, Nike of Paionios, a variety of artifacts, the drinking cup of Pheidias!
