Itinerary

    The marvelous man-made Corinth canal connecting the Aegean and Ionian seas, as well as the Peloponnese peninsula with the central part of Greece. More than 2500 workers digging 6.400m for twelve years (from 1881 to 1893). Stop for photography, walk across on a pedestrian bridge and admire the canal from 80 m high

    15 minutes

  • Sparta

    Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution introduced by the almost mythical figure of Lycurgus. He configured the entire society in order to maximize military proficiency at all costs, focusing all social institutions on military training and physical development. Its inhabitants were classified as Spartiates (Spartan citizens with full rights), mothakes (non-Spartan free men raised as Spartans), perioikoi (free residents engaged in commerce), and helots (state-owned serfs, enslaved non-Spartan local population).

    30 minutes

  • Archaeological Museum of Sparta

    The Archaeological Museum of Sparta comprises the oldest provincial archaeological museum of the country. Its neoclassical building was constructed between 1874 and 1876 in the center of the city and it has been declared a listed building for its architectural and historical interest. Every Tuesday Museum is closed Ticket general 3€

    30 minutes

  • Acropolis and Ancient Theater

    Thucydides wrote: Suppose the city of Sparta to be deserted, and nothing left but the temples and the ground-plan, distant ages would be very unwilling to believe that the power of the Lacedaemonians was at all equal to their fame. Their city is not built continuously, and has no splendid temples or other edifices it rather resembles a group of villages and would therefore make a poor show. We visit The Acropolis and the Ancient Theater of Sparta. Built of local white marble during the Roman period, the late first-century B.C theater was one of the Classical world’s largest. Said to be capable of holding an estimated 16,000 people, it featured a mobile stage and was considered a tourist destination in ancient times. Much of the auditorium was destroyed during the Byzantine period, and the remaining marble and limestone blocks have suffered from erosion.

    1 hour

  • Leonidas Monument

    The King Leonidas statue stands belligerently in front of a stadium. When the Persians attacked at Thermopylae and told the Spartans and their allies to lay down their weapons, Leonidas' response, immortalized beneath his feet, was 'Molon labe' ('Come and get them'). Excavations carried out during the previous century, north of the modern town of Sparta, brought to light an impressive construction. The edifice that dates back to the 5th century B.C. was made from large limestone. Archaeologist who carried out the excavations in 1892, initially thought it was a small temple. Although its use is not yet verified, it is believed to be the tomb of Leonidas. According to Pausanias, it was here that the remains of the legendary king of Sparta were transferred and buried after the battle in Thermopylae. The tomb of Leonidas is the only preserved monument of the Ancient Agora.

Christos arrived early, and spoke excellent english. We did a day trip to Sparta/ Corinth. The trip itself was spectacular.

Fantastic!

Published on Nov, 2024

This guided tour was wonderful! Our driver/tour guide was fantastic! We learned so much about Sparta and even got to see King Leonidas' tomb!

Great information and amazing sites

Published on Oct, 2024

Our driver Nikolaos had so much great information about the sites we visited. He was very knowledgeable and worked with us to ensure we had a great time. There was a lot of driving, but it was worth it to see the historical sites preserved so well, and he broke up the trip with stops along the way. Everyone was glad we took this trip! We got to walk in the footsteps of historical legends and learn things we never heard in school.

Memorable Sparta and Corinth

Published on Aug, 2024

It was a great trip. Nikolaos did a lot of driving getting us to Sparta and back safely. Told us about the canal, showed us great spots to take pictures. Same with when we arrived in Sparta- museum, statue and ancient Sparta. Recommended a great gyro place to have lunch. Miscommunication on olive museum that we didn’t get to see but replaced by Corinth. Great trip and thank you for all the driving.

Come and get them

Published on Aug, 2024

Awesome trip. Our guide Nickolas was fantastic, very friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. This trip was really great for me. Corinth was unexpectedly awesome.
