A scenic drive through the Greek countryside will take you to Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Upon arrival, you need no worry about waiting in long queue as all our tours follow a skip-the-line ticket policy. Olympia, one of the monuments of the world heritage of UNESCO, has the appearance of a park. Then follow "a wine road" to get off the beaten track and visit a local winery. The owners will be more than pleased to guide you through the facilities. The aromatherapy of the cellars will prepare your taste buds for the wine tasting at the end of this tour.
