Our schedule is versatile, but most vital is that our drivers are experienced voyagers devoted to assisting you in experiencing the excursion of a lifetime, blending natural beauty and historical significance.

We proceed to Diakopto, where you’ll hop on the cog railway, an exceptional train journey through the Vouraikos Gorge to Kalavryta. From the train station, we drive to the Agia Lavra monastery. We go back to Kalavryta, navigate the village (visit Holocaust Museum), and return to Athens by car. On the journey, we’ll pause at the Mega Spileo Monastery (the oldest in Greece). Finally, we head to Corinth for our concluding visit. Visit site/ museum.
