See the very best of mainland Greece on one unhurried private road trip: Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, Olympia, Delphi, Thermopylae and the monasteries of Meteora, all in four days.

Your English-speaking driver picks you up in Athens in an air-conditioned Mercedes with Wi-Fi and bottled water. Day 1 crosses the Corinth Canal to Ancient Corinth, the Lion Gate of Mycenae and lovely Nafplio, before the night in Olympia. On Day 2, walk where the first Olympic Games were held, then cross the Rio-Antirrio bridge to Delphi.

Day 3 brings the Sanctuary of Apollo and the bronze Charioteer, then Thermopylae, where Leonidas and his 300 Spartans made their stand. On Day 4, visit the monasteries perched on the rocks of Meteora before the drive back to Athens.

Just your group, at your own pace. Hotels are not included, but we can help you book them. Drivers don't guide inside the sites. Licensed guides are optional, available upon request for an additional fee, and subject to availability.
