A rich 5.5-hour guided immersion combining Ancient Olympia's archaeological highlights with a curated tasting of the region's finest honey, wine, and olive oil — direct from the producers in the Peloponnese heartland.
What to expect
The tour opens with a guided visit to the Archaeological Site and Museum of Ancient Olympia, covering the sacred Altis precinct, the iconic stadium, and the museum's masterworks. The experience then transitions to a local estate for guided tastings of the region's celebrated products: cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil from century-old trees, raw thyme and wildflower honeys, and estate-bottled Peloponnese wines. Knowledgeable local guides contextualise each product within the history and geography of the region, making the tasting as educational as it is pleasurable. Duration approximately 5.5 hours.
