What's included in Ancient Olympia Full Day Private Tour from Athens & Audio Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Athens
Begin your private tour with an early morning departure from Athens, as your skilled driver escorts you on a captivating four-hour journey to the enchanting landscape of Olympia, where awe-inspiring monasteries perched atop towering rock formations await your exploration.
Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea to the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, slicing through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and creating a separation between the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland, potentially transforming the peninsula into an island. Carved through the isthmus at sea level without any locks, the canal spans 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) in length and has a base width of only 21.4 meters (70 ft), rendering it impassable for numerous contemporary vessels. Observing from an elevated vantage point, you can appreciate the panoramic view of Corinth's isthmus, marvel at the steep limestone walls, and witness vessels below navigating the canal's passage.
Olympia
Olympia served as a revered sanctuary, drawing devotees from across the ancient globe. Commencing in the 8th century BC, the religious festivities at Olympia became linked with the Sacred Olympic Truce, observed throughout the Greek realm through an accord between Spartan Lykourgos and Elis' King Iphitos. During the 5th century BC, Olympia evolved into a hub for intellectual exchange, attracting numerous thinkers and influential figures who gathered to share and disseminate their wisdom and ideas.
