Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora. The complete classical + Byzantine tour. The 5-day version stretches it out — this is the efficient option.
Tuesday departures only. The pacing is faster than the 5-day version but still doesn't feel rushed — your guide knows which stories are worth telling and which to skip.
Pickup 7:00 AM. Corinth Canal stop. Mycenae and the Lion Gate (1.5h with archaeologist). Lunch in Nafplio (own expense). Theatre of Epidaurus — acoustic test included. Drive across Peloponnese to Olympia. Dinner at A-Class hotel.
Olympia archaeological site and museum (Hermes of Praxiteles, original Olympic stadium). Cross Rio-Antirrio bridge (longest cable-stayed bridge in Europe). Drive along Gulf of Corinth to Delphi. Dinner at hotel.
Morning at Delphi — Sanctuary of Apollo, Sacred Way, museum with Charioteer. Lunch in Arachova (own expense). Drive north through Lamia to Kalambaka, arriving 5 PM. Sunset photo at Meteora rocks. Dinner at hotel.
Morning visit to 2 monasteries — Great Meteoron and Varlaam typical. Lunch in Kalambaka (own expense). Drive south back to Athens via Thermopylae photo stop. Drop-off at your Athens hotel by 7:30 PM.
4-day is the efficient option. Same major sites except the 5-day adds a Day 5 in Athens with the Acropolis Museum. If you're doing the Acropolis on your own, 4-day is enough. If you want everything orchestrated, go 5-day.
The 4-day group tour runs once weekly because multi-day operators coordinate fixed schedules. Tuesday departure means returning Friday — perfect for Mon-Fri Greece week. Private departures any day at higher cost.
Moderate to substantial. Each archaeological site has 1-2 hours walking on uneven stone. Olympia has the most ground to cover. Meteora monasteries have 100-200 steps each. Comfortable walking shoes essential.
