Peloponnese, is almost an island but not quite. It is one of the most beautiful regions in the country. It is full of historic sites and ancient ruins. Its seas are of the bluest blue. Its villages are pearl white jewels hidden by flowers and trees. Its landscapes are breathtaking. It is Peloponnese. There are many sites you can visit on a one day excursion basis. Some of the sites you can visit in Peloponnese are: Ancient Corinth and The Canal, Epidaurus, Nafplion, Mycenae, Ancient Sparta, Olympia, Kalavrita, The Cave of The Lakes-Kastria, The Caves of Diros, Monemvasia, and Lousios Gorge.

If you like outdoor activities then I highly recommend the two day tour to Olympia and Lousios Gorge - a beautiful combination of history and nature. For those that like to go hiking Lousios Gorge is a great place. A five kilometer gorge with several hiking trails, and a very good bridge crossing Lousios river. You can walk from one village to another folowing a dirt road through the mountains in beautiful scenery that even has some small waterfalls. The Lousios river is where Zeus used to bath himself, in the spectacular densely vegetated gorge and in the river’s crystal clear waters.

NORTHERN GREECE TOURS

Macedonia pertains to the Greek history and culture for 4000 years. Around the middle of the 4th century B.C. Macedonia became the leading power of the Greek World thanks to King Philip II, (the father of Alexander The Great) who declared himself the Leader of a Greek Confederacy. His dream of a Pan-Hellenic expedition against the Persians was destined to come true by his son, Alexander The Great, who took his army to the banks of Indos River. Greek Art is thus expanded to the depths of East and is assimilated by local populations along with the memory of Alexander. The Great King shall survive through legends until the middle Ages and the European Renaissance. Sites that you can visit are: Delphi, Meteora, Volos-Pelion, Thessalonica, Vergina, Dion Olympus, Philippi
