Day 3 - ATHENS SIGHTSEEING.

Your sightseeing tour this morning delves deep into the glorious history of Athens. Highlights of the tour, of course, is a visit to the Acropolis, still dominating the frantic bustle of modern Athens with its serene presence. Admire the Parthenon, built to honour of the goddess Athena and still amazing in its grace, despite the loss of the Elgin Marbles. Then see the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Arch. Why not join your fellow travellers for a night out with dinner and entertainment? (BB)

Day 4 - ATHENS - OLYMPIA.

Cross the breathtaking Corinth canal to the Peloponnese region and drive to the ancient ruined city of Mycenae. Walk through the Lion Gate, see the giant 'Cyclopean' stones which were used to build the city walls and visit the Beehive Tombs. A delightful drive takes you across the Arcadia Mountains to Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games in 776BC. Hotel: Antonios(BB, D)

Day 5 - OLYMPIA - DELPHI.

Tour Olympia this morning seeing sites of the ancient temples, the Olympic Stadium and Gymnasium. Cross the mainland and follow the coast to Delphi, clinging to the side of Mount Parnassus at 2,000 feet. Ascend the Sacred Way, past the splendid Parian marble Treasury of the Athenians to the Temple of Apollo, where the Oracle of Delphi breathed her enigmatic 'words'. Hotel: Amalia(BB, D)

Day 6 - DELPHI - KALAMBAKA.

Cross fertile Thessaly, the 'bread basket of ancient Greece', and head for the amazing monasteries of Meteora, incredibly perched on pinnacles of rock. Visit one of the monasteries and enjoy stunning views before continuing to your hotel in Kalambaka. Hotel: Divani(BB, D)

Day 7 - KALAMBAKA - ATHENS.

A morning scenic drive along the coast brings you to Thermopylae, famous for its heroic defence by Leonidas and his brave Spartans against the invading Persians. After seeing the memorial, return to Athens for your final night in this fascinating city. Hotel: Metropolitan(BB)

Day 8 - RETURN TO USA.

Sadly, your tour comes to an end today. Perhaps time to buy those last minute souvenirs before transferring to Athens airport for your onward flight. (BB)
