Begin your day at the Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae, one of the most extraordinary and best-preserved temples of ancient Greece. Designed by Ictinus, the renowned architect of the Parthenon, this 5th-century BC temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set at an altitude of 1,130 meters, it offers stunning views over the surrounding mountains. Admire its unique combination of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian elements, a masterpiece of classical architecture dedicated to Apollo the Helper (Epicurius).

Then, dive into nature at the Neda Waterfalls, one of Greece’s most breathtaking and lesser-known natural wonders. Named after the nymph Neda from Greek mythology, the river is the only one in Greece with a female name. Hike through lush, green canyons along a scenic trail leading to crystal-clear waterfalls and a natural pool, perfect for swimming or simply soaking in the tranquility of this magical landscape.

This tour is an unforgettable combination of cultural discovery and refreshing adventure in the heart of the Peloponnese.
