Description

Step into Arcadia, a region of the Peloponnese where ancient history meets breathtaking landscapes and traditional flavors delight the senses. This exclusive full-day tour takes you through some of Arcadia’s most enchanting locations, with moments of wonder, culture, and culinary indulgence at every turn.

1. Caves of Kapsia: An Underground Marvel

The adventure begins at the Caves of Kapsia, one of Greece’s top 10 caves, nestled near the charming village of Kapsas. Inside this natural wonder, you’ll encounter a magical display of stalactites, stalagmites, and intricate formations, alongside discoveries of Neolithic human bones and pottery.

Mystical Mantinia: Caves, Culture & Arcadian Flavors

  • Mantinia Caves & Archaeology: Explore the mystical caves and ancient archaeological sites of Mantinia in Arcadia, Peloponnese — a region where layers of ancient Greek history are closer to the surface than almost anywhere else
  • Arcadian Flavour Stops: Taste the exceptional local products of the Arcadia region at carefully selected stops — Mantinia wines, mountain cheeses, honey, and traditional sweets
  • Scenic Arcadia: Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Mantinia plateau and the surrounding Arcadian mountain landscape — one of Greece’s most visually stunning and least-visited regions

2. Church of Agia Fotini & Archaeological Site of Mantinia

The Church of Agia Fotini in Mantinia blends Byzantine, Ancient Greek, and modern influences into a captivating work of art. Just steps away, the Archaeological Site of Ancient Mantinia reveals a well-preserved ancient theater and the ruins of an important ancient city in the heart of Arcadia.
