Athens Sightseeing (Half day)
This tour includes an overview of the modern city and striking contrasts to the remains of its glorious past. We will visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the Parliament House on Constitution Square, the Panathenian Stadium (site of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896), the Presidential Palace (ex Royal Palace), government buildings and elegant homes. Then we will drive along Panepistimiou Avenue with the view the Catholic Cathedral, the Academy, University, National Library and Omonia Square. In contrast, we will visit the Roman Temple of Olympian Zeus and the crowning beauty and glory that were Athens, the Acropolis with its many monuments atop its rocky base, including the awesome Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion with the Porch of Maidens. We will also visit the Acropolis Museum.

Argolida (Full day)
CORINTH canal • MYCENAE (visit) • ARGOS • NAUPLIA • EPIDAURUS (visit) • ATHENS.
We will drive along the coastal road of the Saronic Gulf to Mycenae, visit the remains of the ancient city, including the lionesses gate, the tomb of Agamemnon and the Palace. Then through ARGOS on to NAUPLIA. After lunch we will visit Epidaurus and its theatre, famous for its remarkable acoustics. Return to Athens via the Epidaurus/Corinth road.

Spinalonga
You will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the town of Elounda. Enjoy a boat ride across to the island of Spinalonga. Spinalonga is a small island with an exceptional interesting history. The Venetian Fortress, which still stands, was built in 1579 and it protected the entire gulf. You will spend the rest of the day swimming while your lunch is prepared - a charcoaled barbeque along with Greek salads, wine and fruit on the beach. You will be brought back to your hotel at the end of the evening.

Knossos
