Day 2 - Sunday. Today we will explore Athens. Starting in the morning we walk up to the Acropolis. Through the Propylaea, the monumental gateway, we approach the fabulous Parthenon. it is the absolute architectural masterpiece. We walk round the Erechteion and we visit the Acropolis Museum with some of the finest sculptures of Ancient Greece from the archaic and classical periods. We take time for pictures and enjoying the view and then we descend to our bus for a drive around the city center of Athens, with some of the best examples of neoclassical style. After lunch we continue with the National Archaeological Museum. This is THE Museum! From Neolithic to Roman, 5000 years of human achievement. Time travel or culture shock this is one of the world's greatest museums. By now it is late afternoon and a short rest is required before we meet for dinner.
After lunch we will continue with a short drive to Galaxidi where we will stay overnight. Galaxidi is a small coastal town, one of Greece's jewels. The local traditional architecture is preserved and protected. In fact, even our accomodation is quite traditional (however, with contemporary conveniences). Our evening walk and dinner will certainly be memorable! Day 4 - Tuesday. After a short visit to the Galaxidi Maritime Museum a scenic drive along the coastline of the Gulf of Corinth brings us to the medieval town of Nafpaktos. A long lunch break will allow plenty of time to stroll along the waterfront and on the strong battlements of the walls enclosing this small seaport with the long history. In early afternoon we drive west to Rio and cross by ferry across the Gulf of Corinth to the city and port of Patras. Here we stay overnight in a small art-hotel. The hotel is decorated with modern art and each room and suote have a different decoration. It is a really special hotel and so is our dinner in the hotel's excellent restaurant going to be.
