Once we arrive, there is plenty of time to explore the ruins of the ancient city. In its day, Corinth was a powerful trading centre and founded a number of colonies throughout the Mediterranean. Afterwards, we explore Acrocorinth, the city’s mighty fortress which sits enthroned on a mountain high above the Gulf of Corinth. Here there are spectacular panoramic views to look forward to.

After a well-deserved lunch break, a transfer brings us to the Ziria Plateau. During the afternoon, dependant on the weather, we either go on a short hike or a ski tour. We end the day with a delicious dinner in a cosy taverna and spend the night in a traditional guesthouse.

Once we have arrived, we head out on a 15 km / 9 mi. hike which follows a section of the E4 long-distance hiking trail through tunnels and over bridges, always following the Vouraikos River. Be sure to take the time to marvel at the beautiful waterfalls along the way!

At the end of the tour, we can enjoy a delicious lunch in a cosy tavern located directly on the riverbank. After lunch, a short transfer takes us to our cosy guesthouse, close to the Mega Spileo monastery, with the magnificent view to the gorge we explored earlier, where we spend the night. In the evening we enjoy dinner reminiscing on the eventful day.

We spend the whole day at Mt. Chelmos: you are free to choose whether you would like to have a day of downhill skiing or snowboarding on groomed slopes, take part in a ski tour through the official ski area, or go all the way up to the 2,340 m / 7,677 ft. summit, where the highest telescope in Greece is located.

At around 3 pm we return to the sea. In the late afternoon, after a short stop in the pretty mountain town of Kalavryta, we pass the Rio Antirrio Bridge on our way to the Greek mainland. The imposing cable-stayed bridge has spanned the Corinthian Gulf since 2004 and is a marvel of engineering.

Shortly after passing the bridge, we reach the beautiful coastal town of Nafpaktos, where we spend the night. After dinner, enjoy a stroll through the charming town.

After the tour, we enjoy a light lunch. We then begin our 2.5-hour transfer which first leads along a panoramic coastal road and later through the largest olive grove in Greece.

Our destination is Arachova. We can look forward to a delicious dinner and a walk through the winter resort, famous beyond the borders of Greece.

During this last section of the hike, we can enjoy fantastic views of the sea and the ancient oracle site. From this height, we can best appreciate the incredible size of the famous ancient site with its temples, stadium, theatre, and gymnasium.

After a lunch snack, we visit the excavation and the Archaeological Museum of Delphi with a certified guide. We then return to Arachova, where we have dinner in one of the best restaurants in town and spend another night.

As at Mt. Chelmos, you are free to decide whether you would like to go skiing, snowboarding, or take part in a ski tour. After plenty of fun in the snow, the transfer back to Athens follows at 4 pm (approx. 2.5 hours).

Once we have checked into the hotel, our guide takes us to a great restaurant with a view of the famous Athens Acropolis, beautifully illuminated every evening, for a final dinner.
