About this trip
Three days out of Athens through the sites that shaped ancient Greece, with a guide who actually knows the history rather than just reciting dates.
You cover a lot of ground: the theatre at Epidaurus, the fortress city of Mycenae, the ancient stadium at Olympia and the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. It's a chronological sweep too, touching on prehistory, the classical period, Roman rule and the Byzantine era as you go.
Good for anyone who wants the big-name ancient sites covered properly in a short window, without having to plan the logistics themselves.
What you'll do
- Walk the ruins of Mycenae, once home to King Agamemnon
- See the ancient theatre and sanctuary at Epidaurus
- Visit the Temple of Apollo and oracle site at Delphi
- Explore the site of the original Olympic Games at Olympia
- Partially guided, so some sections are on your own
- Rated easy, suitable for most fitness levels
- Three days covers four major sites, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
Worth it if you book direct with GO Tours, enjoy strong guides, and don't mind basic restaurant food. Think twice if you're price-sensitive or dislike multi-day bus shuffles.
- Guides consistently excellent: knowledgeable, funny, kept groups together well and answered questions thoroughly.
- Booking via third-party sites costs roughly 100 euros more than direct GO Tours booking; expect bus transfers between tours.
- Restaurant near Olympia serves overpriced, mediocre food; accommodation and hotels elsewhere rated first-class.
- Sites breathtaking, group vibe strong, excellent value for three days covering Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia and Delphi.
