    Itinerary

    Arrival at Athens airport, pick up the car and drive to Kalamata. The natural beauty of this city with the indented shores, sandy beaches, forested mountains and fertile valleys, coexists with significant archaeological monuments. Then we offer you to enjoy dinner in one of the local taverns and spend the night in the 5-star Horizon Blu Boutique Hotel or similar.

    Start your day with a delicious breakfast. After your breakfast we offer you to visit Sparta – a city filled with history. Broad streets full of trees, large squares, neoclassical buildings, scented by the olive, orange and lemon trees of the nearby valley of the Eurotas River: this is Sparta. While in Sparta, visit the Archaeological Museum of Sparta. Its exhibits cover a tremendously long period (Neolithic to late Roman age). Then we suggest you drive to ancient Mystras to see Byzantine palaces and monasteries from the Byzantine era. After that we offer you to enjoy the cuisine of Kalamata and overnight.

    Have a delicious breakfast and drive to Mani region with the picturesque villages (for example, village Areopoli) made out of stones, enjoy traditional food, amazing nature and historical places. Also we offer you to visit the Caves of Diros – one of the most beautiful caves, nature with incomparable art and patience carved a miracle beyond all imagination. Then you return to your hotel in Kalamata, have dinner and overnight.

    Start your day with breakfast and then we offer you to go to River tracking Stenosia to enjoy natural beauty and explore the wild nature – hidden waterfalls, isolated beaches and lonely mountain peaks. After that we invite you to get to know the Castle of Methoni and Koroni. Methoni and Koroni, two quintessential Greek seaside towns, are home to Venetian castles, countless pristine sandy beaches, and lush landscapes. The two towns are intertwined in myriad ways although they are approximately a thirty minute drive away from each other. After that return to Kalamata and overnight.

    Return to Athens from your flight. If you want to extend your tour in Athens – give us a request.

      Athens 4 days Group Tour from Germany

      Thank you very much for the group to Athens! They had a great time. They were very enthusiastic about the trip & guide Jason. he swimming/beach stop after Corinth was a big plus. They enjoyed the nature as addition to the city and culture. Always good to add that when visiting Corinth.

      The location of the hotel was very good, so a bus transfer in the evening was not always necessary. They could have easily come back via the metro to the hotel. That would have saved us real money.

      Thanks again and looking forward to all the coming groups!

      Αthens, Santorini and Corfu
      My Kids and I loved the trip except for our lost baggage from the Aegean airlines upon arrival at Athens at the start of the trip.Loved all the sightseeing. Tour guides and Pick up services were awesome!! Tour guides were very knowledgeable in their area and history of the city and my kids and I loved that. They answered all our questions. Pick up services were always on time.I just wish I had a little more time in Corfu to do the boat tour as I had planned. Wasn’t able to accomplish that. Loved the wine tasting, Oia and Fira in Santorini. Thank You so much for helping me plan this trip. Great memories made on this trip!!Savita
