Two days trip from Athens at Argolis and Ancient Olympia

With this three day tour in ancient Sparta, Monemvasia and Olympia you will see another aspect of the ancient Greek civilization. Unlike the Athenians, the Spartans set their lives according to war and for that reason were the best soldiers in the known world.

It will give you a taste from the medieval Greece which is very little known.
