Additional Information

This tour offers a truly immersive experience, showcasing the stunning natural landscapes of Loutraki, the blend of historic landmarks with flora and fauna, picturesque coastline, and an iconic monastery perched overlooking the Corinthian Sea.

We will initially journey to Mount Gerania, located next to Loutraki town. Our first pause will be at an elevation of 700 meters, adjacent to the Osios Patapios monastery. This vantage point provides an ideal spot to appreciate the panorama of the Corinthian Gulf and the soaring Corinth Canal. Here, we will discuss the regional history while soaking in the breathtaking outlook.

Our route continues through fields of olive trees until we reach the mountain’s edge and the Temple of Hera. Engulfed in the unique ambiance of this ‘open air’ museum, you can easily envision ancient Greeks utilizing this location as a harbor.

Our tour culminates with a visit to Lake Vouliagmeni, also known as Blue Lake. This saline lake is a wonder of incredible natural beauty. We will indulge in a refreshing swim in the pristine waters while savoring some refreshments.

Beyond Expectation! - This was one of the funnest excursions I’ve ever been on. Ask for Mario as your driver. He took us around Loutraki and really made us feel the true essence of the culture and natural world. Worth the price!

Explore Blue Lake & Temple of Hera, Loutraki Greece, 20300. And we want to go again and see more details. - Our favourite part was all of it! We will repeat the same tour and check out more details. First we will head to Gerania mountain, right next to the town of Loutraki. Our first stop will be at a spot of 700 meters of altitude next to Osios Patapios monastery. This is a great spot in order to admire the Corinthian Golf and the Corinth Canal from above. We will talk about out the history of the area, enjoying the amazing view. We will drive through olive tree fields to the edge of the mountain and the Temple of Hera. You will feel the unique aura of this "open air" museum and imagine how ancient Greeks where using the location as a port. Our final destination will be Lake Vouliagmeni or Blue Lake. The salty lake is a place of amazing natural beauty. We will swim to the crystal clear water and enjoy our refreshments.

Short and nice excursion - Only problem could be the many steps to the manastir/temple. I wonder if it is worth, even the view is fantastic. The Blue Lake is really a visit worth. The fish restaurants have good fresh fish.
