This tour takes you back in time, beginning with a short drive to the Arcadian Gate — the impressive structure that once acted as an entrance to the ancient city of Messini.
From here, you'll head for the archaeological site of Messini, which dates back to 146 BC. You'll find many treasures here, including an almost-intact theatre, the ruins of a 3rd-century temple, a time-worn sanctuary, and a Byzantine monastery. Explore this fascinating site before returning to the ship.
