We journey to Sparta as explorers, not mere sightseers. The thrill of travel, of immersing ourselves in history and nature, is a shared passion.
To explore both current and ancient Sparta, along with Ancient Corinth comprehensively, we recommend including all these places in a comprehensive day-long exploration. Whilst the timetable is adaptable, our drivers aren’t just professionals; they’re seasoned explorers devoted to delivering a personally tailored experience that resonates with your interests and lifestyle, ensuring you savor the picturesque ride.
Our jaunt commences with a handy pick-up, leading you via the Corinth Canal to Peloponnese. We travel through Mount Parnon en route to Sparta, where we explore the town, including the awe-inspiring statue of Leonidas, the Acropolis, the theatre, King Leonidas’ Tomb, and the Museum. Visit the unique Olive & Oil museum in Sparta and sample local produce. On our way back, we’ll make a stop at Ancient Corinth.
