This tour weaves through multiple key landmarks from Corinth Canal to the Epidaurus theater with the best acoustics in the world, to King Agamemnon’s Mycenae site to the Venetian “old town” of Nafplio to Palamadi Fortress, where you will walk down all 999 steps before a breathtaking vista of the peninsula. It is there that you will take in your authentic Greek lunch, drinks, and dessert (all our treats) with the help of your great tour leader. It is a tour your way, the details within your control, but a clear plan laid out so that you can relax and let go for a day.
You can optionally include the Ancient Corinth site and/or the Acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth).
Departing from Athens, Piraeus port, or Nafplio, time permitting, you will have access to complimentary extras such as Greek coffee or Ouzo.
Enjoy a totally personal, flexible, and self-directed experience of some of Greece’s most stunning sights on this full-day tour. Meet your driver between 8:00-8:30 am from Athens or Nafplio and embark in a comfortable, private vehicle.
Drive west of Athens, making a quick stop at the historic Corinth Canal before continuing on to Mycenae: a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to some of Greece’s most famous ancient ruins. Wander around the archaeological site and accompanying museum before hopping back in the vehicle and visiting the beautiful port town of Nafplio.
