Embark on a full-day journey to the Peloponnese in a modern, air-conditioned bus, departing from central Athens. This thoughtfully designed experience is operated by the first company to introduce this route, and led by expert guides and experienced tour leaders who bring each destination to life.
Along the way, make a short stop at the impressive Corinth Canal, a striking passage that connects the Aegean and Ionian seas and offers a perfect introduction to the day’s journey.
Continue to Mycenae, the legendary kingdom of Agamemnon and one of the most powerful centers of the ancient world. Walk through the iconic Lion Gate, stand before the immense Cyclopean walls, and explore a city shaped by myth and history. As you move through the ruins, your guide brings to life the stories of kings, power, and epic traditions that influenced Greek civilization for centuries.
The journey continues to the elegant seaside town of Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece. Wander through its charming streets during a guided walk, then enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Relax by the waterfront, discover local shops, or dine in one of the town’s inviting restaurants. You may choose between a tour option that includes a traditional 3-course lunch or the flexibility to arrange your own meal.
Your final stop is the renowned Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and remarkable state of preservation. Experience the unique atmosphere of this ancient site, still in use today, and take in the peaceful surroundings before beginning your return to Athens.
