Cross the Corinth Canal into the Peloponnese and step back in time at Mycenae — the powerful citadel of Agamemnon that dominated the Bronze Age Aegean. Continue to the Theatre of Epidaurus, where a whisper at center stage carries to the last row. Settle into Nafplio for the evening — explore the old town, climb to Akronafplia, or simply enjoy dinner by the waterfront. Hotel pickup in Athens Corinth Canal photo stop Mycenae Archaeological Site — Lion Gate, Treasury of Atreus Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus Evening at leisure in Nafplio Overnight: Nafplio 2 ### Sparta & the Byzantine Jewel of Mystras Drive south through the Arcadian mountains into Laconia — the heartland of the Spartans. Visit the archaeological remains of ancient Sparta and the excellent local museum. Then climb to Mystras, the hauntingly beautiful Byzantine fortress city that flourished as a center of art and learning in the 13th–15th centuries. Its frescoed churches and palace ruins, set against the Taygetus mountains, are among Greece's most memorable sights. Scenic drive through Arcadia Ancient Sparta — archaeological site and museum Mystras — Byzantine churches, palaces, and panoramic views Evening at leisure Overnight: Sparta area 3 ### Across the Peloponnese to Olympia Travel west through the mountainous interior of the Peloponnese, passing through villages and valleys that few tourists ever see. Arrive at Ancient Olympia — where the Olympic tradition was born. Explore the ancient stadium, the Temple of Zeus (which once housed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), and the comprehensive archaeological museum. A peaceful evening in the town of Olympia rounds off the day. Scenic drive through the central Peloponnese Ancient Olympia — stadium, Temple of Zeus, gymnasium Olympia Archaeological Museum Evening at leisure Overnight: Olympia 4 ### Across the Gulf to Delphi Cross the Gulf of Corinth via the dramatic Rion-Antirion suspension bridge and continue north to Delphi — the navel of the ancient world. Explore the sanctuary of Apollo, where the Oracle dispensed prophecies that altered the course of history. Visit the Temple of Apollo, the ancient theatre, the stadium, and the outstanding museum. Spend the afternoon in the mountain village of Arachova — famous for its stone architecture, local textiles, and traditional cuisine. Rion-Antirion Bridge crossing Delphi Archaeological Site — Temple of Apollo, Theatre, Stadium Delphi Archaeological Museum Lunch and free time in Arachova Overnight: Delphi or Arachova 5 ### Meteora, Thermopylae & Return to Athens The final day brings the most visually dramatic destination of the entire tour. Drive north to Meteora, where monasteries built in the 14th–16th centuries crown towering sandstone pillars that rise 400 meters above the plain. Visit 2–3 monasteries, take in the panoramic viewpoints, and enjoy lunch in Kalambaka. On the return journey, stop at Thermopylae — the narrow coastal pass where King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans made their legendary stand against the Persian army. Arrive back in Athens by evening. Meteora panoramic viewpoints Visit 2–3 monasteries (Great Meteoron, Varlaam, Holy Trinity, or others) Lunch in Kalambaka Thermopylae memorial and monument Return to Athens ## Historical Significance The Grand Tour of Greece traces the entire arc of mainland Greek civilization — from the Bronze Age citadels of Mycenae, through the classical ideals of Sparta and Olympia, to the spiritual authority of Delphi and the Byzantine splendor of Mystras and Meteora. The stop at Thermopylae adds the legendary chapter of Greek resistance that has inspired military and political history for 2,500 years. No other single tour covers so many layers of history, spanning from 1600 BCE to the 16th century CE, across such varied and spectacular landscapes. This is Greece distilled into five unforgettable days. ### Ideal For This 5-day tour is ideal for: Travelers who want the definitive mainland Greece experience History and archaeology enthusiasts seeking depth and breadth Couples, families, and small groups who value comfort and flexibility Anyone who wants to see Greece's greatest sites in a single, connected journey ### What's Included Private Mercedes vehicle with professional chauffeur for all 5 days Bottled water, refreshing towels, and onboard Wi-Fi Door-to-door pickup and drop-off from your Athens accommodation All fuel, tolls, and parking fees Flexible pacing, routing, and itinerary adjustments throughout ### Not Included Hotel accommodation (4 nights — we can recommend and assist with booking at each destination) Entrance fees to archaeological sites, museums, and monasteries Licensed tour guide (available upon request at individual sites) Meals and personal expenses ### Get a Custom Quote 5 days · Pricing varies by group size & season Tell us your dates and group size for a personalized quote [Request Quote](/contact-us) [Call +30 210 691 5502](tel:+302106915502)[Email Us](mailto:info@chauffeurgreece.com) ## You May Also Enjoy [ ![3-Day Classical Greece Private Tour](/assets/tour-corinth-DP0Ml6Q3.jpg) 3 days ### 3-Day Classical Greece Private Tour ](/tours/3-day-classical-greece-tour)[ ![4-Day Grand Peloponnese & Delphi Private Tour](/assets/tour-mycenae-DLoahYPQ.jpg) 4 days ### 4-Day Grand Peloponnese & Delphi Private Tour ](/tours/4-day-grand-peloponnese-tour)[ ![2-Day Delphi & Meteora Private Tour](/assets/tour-delphi-BGP1Q22O.jpg) 2 days ### 2-Day Delphi & Meteora Private Tour ](/tours/2-day-delphi-meteora-tour) ## Explore More [Airport Transfers ](/services/airport-transfers)[Port Transfers ](/services/port-transfers)[Private Tours ](/tours)[Day Trips from Athens ](/day-trips-from-athens)[Our Fleet ](/fleet)[All Services ](/services) [WhatsApp Us ](https://wa.me/306949559933) ### Company - [About Us](/about-us) - [Our Fleet](/fleet) - [Contact Us](/contact-us) - [FAQ](/faq) - [Travel Guide](/travel-guide) - [Terms](/terms) - [Privacy Policy](/privacy-policy) ### Services - [All Services](/services) - [Private Tours](/tours) - [Book Online](/book-online) ### Popular - [Day Trips from Athens](/day-trips-from-athens) - [Airport Transfers](/services/airport-transfers) - [Port Transfers](/services/port-transfers) - [Private Tours](/tours) - [Corporate Transport](/services/corporate-services) ### Explore - [All Tours](/tours) - [Sightseeing Tours](/services/tours-chauffeurs-services) - [Chauffeur On Disposal](/services/athens-chauffeur-services) - [Wedding Services](/services/wedding-services) - [Nightlife Service](/services/nightlife-evening-service) - [Intercity Transfers](/services/intercity-transfers) - [Yacht & Sailing](/services/yacht-client-services) [ C G Chauffeur Greece ](/) Powered by [FASTRACC S.A.](https://fastracc.gr/) [](https://www.tripadvisor.com.gr/Attraction_Review-g189400-d10092802-Reviews-Chauffeur_Greece-Athens_Attica.html)[](https://www.instagram.com/chauffeurgreece)[](https://wa.me/306949559933) © 2026 Chauffeur Greece.
