Program details

Harness the power of the mighty sea god Poseidon and take advantage of three great tours with this low-price combination. You’ll enjoy incredible scenery, ancient history and modern culture in one flexible package. Tour Athens and Cape Sounio, and then choose either the Argolis or Delphi day trip as well.

Construct your tours in whatever order you’d like. Perhaps spend the morning exploring all the sights and sounds of the busy Greek capital. From the Acropolis, the crown of the city, to the Agora market at its heart, Athens offers a history lesson like no other. There's also time to explore the new Acropolis Museum and the fantastic treasures within. Then it’s just a short bus ride to Cape Sounio, where the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon stand on a dramatic promontory looming over the sea. Wander among the marble pillars and look for the spot where the poet Byron engraved his name.

You’ll have a hard time choosing between the Argolis and Delphi day trips. The tour of Argolis winds through some of Greece’s most beautiful scenery to visit the best of modern and ancient Greece. Visit the peaceful hilltop ruins of ancient Mycenae, and then enjoy a romantic stroll through Nafplio, the stunning first capital of Greece. Then test the remarkable acoustics of Epidaurus for yourself in the amphitheatre. Or perhaps you’ll choose the excursion to mystical Delphi, the ‘navel of the earth’ now a Unesco World Heritage Site. Explore the stunning ruins and learn about the power of the Delphic oracle, whose uncanny prophecies drew kings, emperors and warriors from across the ancient world. Whichever fantastic tour you choose, a delicious local lunch is included. Discover Athens and beyond with this chance to enjoy three terrific tours for one great price!
