Product Info

Begin your journey from Athens and head southwest through scenic mountain roads. After approximately 2.5–3 hours, arrive at the remote Sanctuary of Apollo Epikourios at Bassae. Explore the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Apollo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designed by the same architect who worked on the Parthenon. Admire its unique architecture and dramatic mountainous setting.

Continue the drive to Ancient Messene, one of the most impressive and best-preserved ancient cities in Greece. Walk among the extensive ruins of the ancient city, including the huge agora, the theatre, the stadium, the Asklepieion, and the remarkably intact fortification walls. Ancient Messene offers a rare opportunity to experience a complete ancient city that is still relatively quiet and atmospheric.

Enjoy a relaxed lunch break in the area before or after the visit to Messene. This full-day private tour combines outstanding archaeology, beautiful scenery, and a more authentic experience away from the busiest tourist routes.
