What to expect

Tickets to the Archaeological Site of Mycenae are included in both the "With Lunch" and "Without Lunch" options.

Embark on a full-day tour from Athens, delving into the heart of Greece's ancient history while minimising your environmental impact. The journey begins with a brief stop at the awe-inspiring Corinth Canal, where the Peloponnese converges with mainland Greece. From there, you'll proceed to Mycenae, a significant hub of ancient Greek civilisation. Explore the remnants of this Bronze Age city, taking in sights such as the iconic Lion Gate and the Tomb of Agamemnon.

The next destination is Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, a picturesque seaside town known for its Venetian architecture, vibrant squares, and sweeping views of the Argolic Gulf. Explore its charming cobblestone alleys, and take a guided walking tour through Nafplio’s historic centre, discovering hidden gems and learning about its rich past.

The day concludes at the UNESCO-listed site of Epidaurus (tickets to be paid on site). Once a healing centre dedicated to Asklepios, the god of medicine, it's renowned for its ancient theatre and near-perfect acoustics. Whether you choose to investigate the site or simply unwind amidst nature, it serves as an ideal final stop before returning to Athens.

This tour blends history, culture, and relaxation with eco-friendly transport and stunning coastal views. An unforgettable day trip from Athens to Greece’s legendary landmarks.
