What to expect

Delve into the ancient treasures of Delphi and Thebes on this full-day tour. And both are just a short drive from Athens. You'll visit these well-preserved archaeological sites before an afternoon exploring the charming mountain villages of Levadia and Arachova.

First, we'll journey through the fertile plain of Beotia, crossing the town of Thebes, home of the mythical King Oedipus. Then it's on to Delphi, considered the centre of ancient world. Its prestige extended far beyond the boundaries of Hellenic civilisation. Tour the ruins of the Sanctuary of Apollo Pythios, set beautifully on the slopes of towering Mt Parnassus. There's also an option to include lunch here.

You'll also visit the Treasury of the Athenians and the Temple of Apollo as well as enjoy time in the museum. Here, you'll get to see masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture such as the bronze Charioteer and the famous athlete Aghias. After lunch in the modern village of Delphi, we'll stop off at the quaint villages of Levadia and Arachova.

Privat rundtur i Athen med besøk i Akropolis og Plaka – halv dag

De gamle grekerne etterlot seg en skattkiste av monumenter, statuer og gjenstander i Athen. Og på denne turen får du oppleve alle høydepunktene med en privat guide. Dere besøker blant annet den romerske agoraen, Hadrians bibliotek, Plaka-området og den UNESCO-listede Akropolis. Vassiliki, en av våre dyktige lokalguider, sier: "Akropolis betyr "høy by", og det refererer vanligvis til enhver bosetning bygget på toppen av en ås. Du vil finne mange byer i Hellas som har en akropolis, men Akropolis i Athen er absolutt den mest kjente."Du starter med en guidet tur på Akropolis – med gå-forbi-køen-billetter er det ingen ventetid. Nyt wow-faktor-utsikten over Athen ved Areopagos – en steinete høyde der legenden sier at de greske gudene ville holde hoffet. La guiden bringe historien til live mens du beundrer gamle landemerker som den romerske agoraen, Dionysos-teatret og de fortsatt stående søylene i Asklepieion og Parthenon.Deretter går turen videre til byens Instagram-verdige gamle bydel, Plaka – hovedstadens mest tiltalende og historiske bydel. Gågatene er alltid fulle av en blanding av lokalbefolkningen og besøkende, og er fulle av tavernaer med bordene ute i gatene. Vassiliki sier: "Athenerne kaller dette området «gudenes nabolag», ettersom det har vært bebodd siden antikkens Hellas. Faktisk viser utgravninger at gateplanet knapt har endret seg siden antikken."

Hydra Island boat trip including free time in the town

Take in one of the most appealing islands in the Saronic Gulf with this boat cruise. Sail across the Aegean Sea and come ashore to explore Hydra – an ancient port of call where cars and motorbikes are banned. Irini, one of our local guides, says, ‘Donkeys are the most common transport on Hydra, and you'll see them lined up like taxis, waiting to carry your heavy cases or shopping bags for you. For the island's population they are an essential part of the infrastructure, and they definitely add charm to the port town.' After pick-up from your hotel, we'll travel to the port of Ermoni. Once aboard the boat, you can sit back and soak up some sunshine as we sail across the Saronic Gulf to Hydra. There's so much history in this part of the Aegean as it was an important ancient trade route. Irini says, ‘Hydra's prosperity grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became a major hub for shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The island's skilled sailors and shipbuilders established Hydra as a dominant force in the maritime industry.'When we arrive at the car and motorbike-free island of Hydra, you'll have free time to explore. You can linger in the harbour to spot colourful fishing boats bobbing on the sea, stroll past sugar cube houses on the hillside, or venture into the town's maze of cobbled alleys for a coffee or some shopping.

Corinth Canal by Boat

Sliced through solid rock, the Corinth Canal is one of Greece's most important engineering achievements. And you'll have the pleasure of cruising along this narrow sea corridor on this half-day tour – it's the perfect backdrop for snapping up those Insta-gold photos. After pick-up from your hotel, you'll begin cruising towards the Corinth Canal. It's a 6km-long passage that connects the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, but what's really astounding is its narrowness – just under 25m wide – and history.As your captain expertly manoeuvres the boat with only a couple of metres either side of near-vertical cliffs, you'll be able to appreciate this engineering marvel. Your guide will fill you in on how excavation first started under the rule of Roman Emperor Nero in the first century AD and was finally completed by the French in the 19th century.
