TRIP IN DETAIL

Beginning your private journey from Athens, your first stop will see you at the Corinth Canal, the famous 6.4km (4 miles) long, 21.4-metre wide isthmus that separates the Peloponnese from the mainland, for remarkable photo opportunities.

Heading south-west for a short drive you will arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mycenae, that is among the most important and richest centres of the Late Bronze Age in Greece, with the Mycenaean civilization one of the greatest of Greek pre-history. Poets and writers were inspired over many centuries, like Homer, who wrote his mythological tales and epic stories, that become ever more vivid at this site.

Passing through the Lions Gate, you will see the Mycenaean Acropolis or citadel, the Treasury of Atreus (also knows as the Tomb of Agamemnon) and the ruins of the Cyclopean walls that once protected this ancient city, ending your visit at the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae.

Continuing on you’ll reach the sanctuary of Epidaurus, a site as important and unfaltering through history and one of the most complete from antiquity. Within a nature-like reserve, you will explore the ancient theatre renowned for its perfect proportions and acoustics, the Temples of Artemis and Asklepios, the Tholos, the Enkoimeterion, the Propylaia, and more.

The final leg of your tour will see you venture towards Nafplion, stopping by the fort and castle of Palamidi that are excellent examples of Venetian architecture. Free time for lunch and/or refreshments is scheduled in the old town of Nafplion, one of Greece’s most picturesque towns, that is full of natural beauty and charming cobblestoned alleyways.

Your private journey concludes after your driver drops you at your hotel or apartment in Athens.

* Don’t forget your sunglasses! Wear comfortable walking shoes as there is an ascent up to the archaeological site with areas of rocky terrain. We would rate this walk as low to medium intensity so you don’t need to be super fit.
