(Dinner)
Day 2.  Athens: The Cerameicus-The Agora-Acropolis South Slope / The Acropolis-National Museum The Cerameicus (the "potters quarter") reveals substantial remains of the original city wall as well as a splendid collection of funerary offerings in its museum. The Agora was the administrative and economic heart of democratic Athens. The South Slope of the Acropolis holds the Theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.. The Acropolis. We pass the Propylaion (the entrance gate) on our way to the Parthenon (Athena's temple) and the mysterious Erechtheum. There is also an important museum on the hill itself with critical remains of the Archaic Period (750-480). Accommodation Athens. (Breakfast - Lunch – Dinner)
Day 3.  Athens-Marathon-Sounio
Today we take a tour of the area right around Athens, called Attica. Our first stop is the battlefield of Marathon, where the Athenians pushed back a much larger Persian force in 490 B.C. (Break for lunch) Next we travel down the coast another 30 miles, to beautiful Cape Sounio and its dazzling temple to the sea god Poseidon. Accommodation Athens. (Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)
Day 4. Thermopylae - Dion – Veria.
We drive north. First break at Thermopylae, where King Leonidas with his 300 Spartans and their allies held off the vastly superior Persian invasion for three critical days until they were overwhelmed. Continue north to the ancient site of Dion. Dion was a small settlement but an important place in Macedonia. Drive north direction DION. The name of Dion is derived from Dias (Zeus) the Olympian god. The Macedonian kings used to celebrate their victories and to offer to Zeus in Dion. Many objects shown in the Museum are from the Roman period when many Romans lived in Dion. Early afternoon arrival Veria where we overnight. Accommodation Dion (Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)
Day 5. Vergina-Kalambaka (Meteora)
After breakfast awe take a short drive  to Vergina in Macedonia. Here is what is thought by many scholars to be the tomb of Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great.

(Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)
 
Day 6. Kalambaka (Meteora)-Delphi
Meteora is a must-see on any trip to Greece. Here are some of the most ancient, active monasteries on all of Greece, perched miraculously atop the mountains along the Pinios river. A two-three hour drive puts us in Delphi. Accommodation Delphi. (Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)
 
Day 7. Delphi-Olympia
Delphi was truly a Pan-Hellenic site for the Greeks; they all gathered here to celebrate Apollo and to get practical advice from the Pythia, the priestess.

Break for lunch at Nafpaktos and later afternoon arrival Olympia where we overnight. Accommodation Olympia. (Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner)
Day 8. Olympia-Nafplion
