Om den här aktiviteten
DAY1. From your hotel or cruise ship terminal you will travel in comfort in one of our new black Mercedes E-Class, AudiA6 or Mercedes Minibus models with free WiFi as your informative driver takes you west from Athens to reach the historic Nafplion & first capital of modern Greece with its dominating Palamidi castle overlooking the Venetian quarter now housing many local crafts shops which are a joy to explore. Enjoy lunch in one of the seafront taverns in view of the impressive Bourtzi fortress lying in the bay before continuing for around two hours to Monemvasia.
Originally separated from the mainland by an earthquake, the Gibraltar like rock of Monemvasia was an ideal inaccessible natural fortress for settlement in the 6th century by the local inhabitants seeking protection from Slavic invaders in the 6th century. Sitting on a plateau 100 meters above sea level you will find a remarkable walled city without cars, constructed and added to by the Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans until its liberation in the early 19th century. Continue on foot into the old and well preserved city check in to one of the many charming converted guesthouses & wander the living history of its twisting labyrinthine streets and sea views.
DAY2. After an unhurried breakfast we travel around 3 hours deeper into the Peloponnese to the rugged Mani Peninsula. Famous for its tower houses built to protect the local population from the piracy & dangerous times during medieval life up to the nineteenth century. its inhabitants are also the descendants of the Ancient Spartans & this combination of geography & hardy people kept the region independent to develop its own character from the rest of Greece. During our stay our route is chosen to visit the most impressive of its scenery & villages such as Vathi at its southernmost tip before continuing to Methoni in the evening with time to enjoy this ancient location with its castle & beaches.
DAY3. After visiting the castle in the morning our return route travels through the mountainous interior of the Peloponnese with a stop at the mountain village of Dimitsana with its renovated nineteenth century stone mansions & wonderful views to the plains below.
