    Archaeological Museum of Olympia

    Peloponnese

    LUNCH & DRINKS like Greeks: Ideally, we will enjoy lunch and drinks (ALL INCLUDED) next to a beach with a sea view and surrounded by local Greeks. This will be a 100% Greek lunch away from anything you would call "touristy"!

    Corinth Canal

    Optional (and time permitting): The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.
