ATHENS • OLYMPIA 

We leave the city for the country, hugging the coast until we reach the Corinth Canal and cross  over to the Peloponnesus. Epidaurus is our destination this morning — the celebrated  ampitheatre here boasts perfect acoustics – it’s an incredible feeling to sit in seats coveted 2400  years ago. From here, you’ll travel through time to Nauplia the first capital of the Hellenic  Republic. With our expert guide, you’ll walk beneath the Lion Gate at Mycenae, city of  Agamemnon, and chief among the cities to go to war with Troy. The evening will find us in  Olympia, where we’ll have dinner and stay the night. (B, D)

OLYMPIA • DELPHI 

Olympia, first among the sanctuaries of ancient Greece, sprawls at the base of Mount Kronios and  looks out at a lush countryside. Home to the Olympic Games and one of the wonders of the  ancient world, the cult statue of Zeus that decorated the temple here, this spot . You’ll stand in the  stadium and walk among the temples and treasuries that once held the riches of the nation. At  the onsite Museum, you’ll marvel at the richly wrought dedications to the gods – many given in  thanks for victories at the games. Leaving Olympia , we’ll drive down the coast via Patras, and  cross the channel via the the Rio – Antirrio bridge, a modern marvel of engineering. We’ll arrive

in Nafpaktos, one of the most charming port towns anywhere, and then continue to fabled Delphi,  where we’ll have dinner and spend the night. (B, D)

DELPHI • KALAMBAKA 

Delphi: for the ancients, the Omphalos, the “navel”, or centre, of the world. You’ll stand in this  place, a spectacular setting on the slope of Mt. Parnassus and before is a sight that will leave you  in awe. The setting is without question the most beautiful in Greece – gaze out over the theatre,  the Sacred Way and the lovely treasury of the Athenians – built with the spoils from the victory  over the Persians at the battle of Marathon – and finally, the Temple of Apollo. Our expert guide  will breathe life into these ancient stones and the role they played long ago. Our visit to the  museum brings you face to face with the greatest finds of the complex – the celebrated bronze  charioteer of Delphi, with eyes of silver and red, copper lips, the magnificent statue of the athlete  Agias, thought to be by the great Lysippos, in all, more treasures than be appreciated in a week.  That’s where our expert comes in… When we leave this beautiful setting, we’ll pass through rich  farmland and the cities of Amphissa, Lamia and Trikala to reach our stop for the night,  Kalambaka.

METEORA • ATHENS 

Today is set for one of the world’s travel great experiences: the Monasteries of Meteora. Perched  atop rock outcropping high above the valley floor, the vistas from this site are awe-inspiring.  Serene, isolated, secure – it is not hard to see why the setting appealed to those generations of  the faithful seeking to be closer to God. Designated as a unique phenomenon of cultural heritage  by UNESCO, this site cannot fail to move the visitor. As we journey back to Athens, our starting  point, you’ll stop at Thermopylae, the “Hot Gates”, site of the heroic defense of Leonidas against  the Persian legions. It is said that on this spot, Greece, and the Western civilization it spawned,  was saved. You’ll stay the night in Athens. (B)
