Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplion & Epidaurus Day Trip

Embark on a comprehensive journey through Classical Greece with a full-day excursion to the Corinth Canal, Epidaurus, and Mycenae. This experience offers an in-depth look at Greece's rich history and cultural heritage as you explore the Argolis peninsula.

Details of the Excursion

We will convene at Athanasiou Diakou Street, number 26, at the specified time and begin our adventure with a visit to the Corinth Canal. Here, we will pause briefly to appreciate this remarkable feat of engineering!

After our stop, we will proceed to the Argolid region, where the ancient city of Mycenae, a significant site in Greek civilization, awaits discovery. At the archaeological site, immerse yourself in the history of the legendary kingdom of Agamemnon, which is famously depicted in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

Our exploration of Mycenae will include highlights such as the Lion's Gate and the Tomb of Agamemnon. We will then make our way to Nafplion, the first capital of modern Greece, where you'll enjoy a generous 1.5 hours of free time for lunch and to wander the charming streets at your leisure. Don’t miss the stunning Venetian fortress of Palamidi and the castle of Bourtzi.

Once you're recharged, we will head to Epidaurus, the birthplace of Asclepius, the god of healing. This town is home to the magnificent Epidaurus Theater. If you prefer not to join the guided exploration of the site, you will have an hour of free time while the rest of the group participates in the tour.

As our day comes to a close, we will make our way back to Athens. We anticipate returning to the meeting point approximately 10 hours after our departure.

Changes to the Itinerary

During the winter season (November to March), please note that due to shorter opening hours of archaeological sites, the optional visit to the Theater of Epidaurus will be unavailable. Instead, the itinerary will feature a guided walking tour of Nafplio with additional time for you to explore the town.

The total duration of this excursion will still be 10 hours. From April 1, 2027, the visit to Epidaurus will resume as originally planned.

Lunch Option

When booking, you have the opportunity to select an option that includes lunch in Nafplion. The menu features two traditional Greek courses and dessert, though drinks are not included.
