Start your day for your Sparta Tour with an early morning pickup from your accommodation in Athens. Travel in comfort aboard a luxury minibus as you journey to some of Greece’s most iconic landmarks: the Corinth Canal, the historic city of Sparta, and the medieval ruins of Mystras. Along the way, enjoy the stunning landscapes of the Peloponnese.
Our first stop is the famous Corinth Canal. This incredible feat of engineering connects the Ionian and Aegean Seas, cutting through rock to form a narrow, 6-kilometer passage. Marvel at the canal’s steep, nearly vertical walls rising 300 feet above the water. It’s the perfect spot for breathtaking photos.
Next, we visit the legendary town of Sparta, a city renowned for its ancient military strength and storied past. Here, you can explore the fascinating museum and ancient acropolis. Learn about Sparta’s founding by the Dorians in the 9th century and its rise as a powerful military state under Lycurgus. Don’t miss the statue of King Leonidas, standing as a proud tribute to the heroic Battle of Thermopylae and the legendary 300 Spartans.
Just 7 kilometers from Sparta, you’ll find Mystras, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a gem of Byzantine history. Built as an amphitheater around a fortress in 1249 by William of Villehardouin, Mystras later fell under Byzantine, Turkish, and Venetian rule. Today, it offers breathtaking medieval ruins surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
After a day full of exploration, relax in the luxury minibus as we return you to your accommodation in Athens.
