Overview
Experience the birthplace of the Olympic Games on a private day tour from Athens, designed at your own relaxed pace. Leaving the city behind, you will make a scenic stop at the Corinth Canal before journeying into the lush valley of the Peloponnese. Walk the sacred grounds of Ancient Olympia, where athletes once competed for pure glory, and marvel at world-class ancient masterpieces inside the Archaeological Museum.
Beyond the history, this journey connects you with the authentic heart of the region. Enjoy a leisurely traditional Greek lunch (optional) in a local village, where the food is honest, the wine is local, and the pace slows down the way it should. With a private luxury vehicle and a dedicated driver at your service, the day is entirely yours, from door to door.

Corinth Canal
15m
After approximately one hour on the road, we make a scenic stop at the Corinth Canal - a breathtaking feat of engineering that separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese. Take your photos, enjoy a coffee, and take in the view before we continue our drive through Patras and into the valley of Olympia.
Archaeological Museum of Olympia
1m · Admission ticket not included
Steps from the ruins, the Archaeological Museum of Olympia houses some of the finest sculptures in Greece. Stand before the Hermes of Praxiteles, the Nike of Paionios, and treasures from the sacred precinct of the Altis spanning from prehistoric times to the Early Christian period. Few museums in Greece reward a slow visit as much as this one.
Archaeological Site of Olympia

Olympia is where the Olympic Games were born in 776 BC - a moment that united the Greek world every four years in the spirit of competition, truce, and shared humanity. Here, you will walk the sacred ground of the Altis: the Temple of Zeus, once home to the gold and ivory statue considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; the Temple of Hera, among the oldest monumental temples in Greece; the Bouleuterion; and the original Stadium where athletes competed for glory, not gold.
