One day tour to Olympia.
For families and small groups of people.
There are no one day organised bustours from Athens to Olympia.
This is the only way to visit comfortably this important sight.

This is a "unique" tour...

for visitors, that consider this visit to Olympia, a lifetime pilgrimage.

Depart from Athens 06.30am. Our first stop is at Corinth canal ( a wonder of the world that cuts the mainland Greece off from the Peloponnese Peninsula and is one of the 3 waterways on earth. The Canal cuts the Isthmus of Corinth in a straight line 6.346 m long. Canal width is 24.60 m at sea level and 21.30 m at bottom level). Arrive at Olympia after 10.00 am. Spend 4 hours visiting the museums and exploring the ancient site at Olympia. Depart around 02.30 pm. for the deluxe ALDEMAR Hotel.(Open from mid April-mid October). Our clients may use the hotel's facilities (restaurants, cafeterias, bars, beach umbrellas and beds etc.). You can have a swim, have lunch or relax in the luxurious settings of the "5 stars" hotel before returning to Athens.
From mid October-mid April after finishing from the museums at Olympia we drive for lunch at a village near Olympia before returning to Athens.

Considering the cost, you must take into account the duration of the trip (compared to the bus or train trip), the pick up/drop off in Athens, the entrance tickets which are included in the price (9.00 euros p.p.) and the file of information that helps you imagine what the site looked like in its glorious days.
