Private Sparta & Mystras Tour From Athens

Take part in our Private Sparta & Mystras Tour From Athens. We leave Athens behind us and drive towards the Peloponnese, with a possible short stop at the Corinth Canal. The canal is approximately 6 km long and connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. Depending on timing, there may be time for photos, coffee or a short break before continuing south.

We continue towards Mystras, the fortified Byzantine town built on the slopes above the plain of Sparta. During your visit, you may explore the Upper and Lower Towns, the Palace of the Despots, the Cathedral of Saint Dimitrios and the monasteries of Our Lady Pantánassa and Lady Perivleptos. Mystras is one of the most important Byzantine sites in Greece and offers a powerful glimpse into the medieval history of the Peloponnese.

The tour then continues to Sparta, one of the most famous city-states of ancient Greece. Depending on the final programme and available time, the visit may include the Statue of Leonidas and other points of interest connected with the history and legacy of ancient Sparta.

If time allows, a visit to the Museum of Olive Oil of Sparta may also be included. The museum presents the history of olive oil production in Greece, from antiquity to modern times.
