view of the Norman-Swabian Castle, built in
1130 AD. Free time for shopping.

Katakolon is gateway to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Never a town, always a sanctuary, Olympia was a national shrine to the Greeks and contained only buildings associated with games and worship. Once home to treasures such as art, monuments, altars, theatres, statues and temples (the most famous of which is the Temple of Zeus) here, each Olympic year, the still sacred flame is set alight.
A Taste of Ancient Greece - 3.5 hours
By coach to Olympia to visit the site including
the Temple of Zeus, the gymnasium, the hippodrome
and stadium (once capable of holding
40,000 spectators). Then to the fishing village of
Katakolon, a snack and a typical folkloric show.
Transfer to the Beach - 3 hours
By coach to Kourouta Beach where you'll enjoy
free time to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean
sun and take in the breathtaking scenery.
The crescent-shaped legacy of a volcanic eruption that shook the Aegean in 1500 BC. Fira, the island's main town, is famed for its sensational views. Built on the rim of the submerged crater, Fira has a huge social scene and narrow, winding streets are lined with restaurants, cafes and nightspots filled with visitors from the world over.
Oia Village - 4 hours
Oia ("eeya") is an exquisite little village near Fira,
Santorini's main town. Beautiful and colourful, it
has narrow streets, white churches, pretty
shops, and cafes and tavernas offering the very
best views of the Gulf of Santorini. Includes a
visit to a winery and a tasting.
Also available: Excursion in the Caldera;
Transfer to Perivolos Beach.
The most cosmopolitan of all the Greek Isles,
Mykonos is every bit as entertaining as it strives
to be! The island brims with golden beaches,
seaside tavernas and airy cafes, chic boutiques,
elegant restaurants and a spirited nightlife. Characteristic
cube-shaped, small white houses dot
the landscape, dazzling in the sunlight, facades
broken only by the intense colours of their doors
and shutters.
Tours are not offered in Mykonos. Enjoy your
visit.
Few destinations rival the cultural wealth and intriguing sightseeing of Athens. Perhaps best known is the Parthenon, the great temple which lords over the city from the Acropolis. The city also hosts a large and diverse selection of important museums. In the exciting restaurants and clubs in Plaka District, society is out in full, with visitors and Athenians gathered together to drink, dine and dance within an atmosphere of infectious camaraderie.
Athens, The Acropolis and National
Archeological Museum - 6 Hours
A panoramic bus tour of the main streets and
squares including a visit to the Acropolis, home
to the Parthenon. A visit to the National
Archeological Museum is included.
Corinth Canal - 5.5 Hours
By bus to the Corinth Canal (and hopefully a
ship passing through). You'll then transfer to a
boat and sail inside the canal yourself.
Immortalized in Homer's Odyssey, Corfu is renowned for its glorious beaches, striking natural beauty and rich blend of Venetian, Neopolitan and Georgian-style architecture. The island reflects many of the characteristics of its varied ruling nations, yet manages to remain decidedly Greek. The old town offers Italianate buildings and a boulevard style reminiscent of Paris.
Achilleion Palace - 4 hours
Corfu was last stop for Ulysses during his
journey home. You'll visit the magnificent, richly
decorated Achilleion Palace, dedicated to
Achilles and former residence of Queen
Elizabeth of Austria. Glorious gardens overlook
the sea. Free time in the lively town of Corfu.
Paleokastritza - 4 hours
Panoramic drive through countryside to Bay of
Paleokastriza and a visit to its ancient
monastery displaying fine Byzantine paintings.
Then to the town of Corfu and free time to
enjoy the fun.
Dubrovnik boasts one of the largest and best preserved fortification systems in Europe. The construction of these medieval walls, which surround the city, stretched from the 11th to the 17th centuries. Located on a peninsula, the city is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe, and a visit here is nothing less than a step back in time.
City Tour - 3.5 Hours
See Dubrovnik in all its historical splendour via
a walking tour through narrow streets and
along the ramparts of this famous UNESCO
World Heritage city. See the Cathedral of the
Assumption of Mary, the Rector's Palace, the
magnificent cloister and other sights of the
Monastery of St. Francis. Free time follows for
personal exploration.
Konavle and Dubrovnik - 4.5 Hours
