Step by Step

This full-day excursion from Athens is an excellent way to discover two of the Peloponnese's great historical destinations without worrying about transport arrangements. Throughout the day, the tour combines archaeological remains, coastal views and free time in one of Greece's most pleasant cities, creating a well-balanced experience between culture and landscape.

The first major visit is to Mycenae, one of the most important cities of the Mycenaean civilisation. Here you can discover some of its most representative sites, such as the imposing Lion's Gate, the famous Tomb of Agamemnon and the remains of the ancient palace. This is an essential stop for those who want to get a closer look at one of the great chapters of ancient Greek history.

The route also includes a stop at the Corinth Canal, one of the country's most famous waterways, perfect for taking photos and enjoying one of the most striking images of the journey. Afterwards, the tour continues to Nafplion, a charming seaside town, where you will have time to stroll through the streets and enjoy the atmosphere.

One of the most important aspects of this activity is that you can choose from several options. The simplest option is the excursion without entrance fees and lunch, designed for those who prefer a more basic format and want to manage these parts of the experience on their own. This option does not include pick-up and starts directly at the meeting point.

The other options add different services to make the day more comfortable and complete. You can choose the option with tickets included, with lunch included or the option that combines tickets and lunch. These options do include pick-up from selected hotels, which makes the experience especially convenient for those staying in Athens who want to forget about the logistics of starting the tour.

    I would do it again. It's long, yes, but seeing Mycenae, Corinth and Nafplion in the same day is worth it.

    Nafplion was a surprise, very pleasant to walk after so much ancient stone. The hike is well paced.

    Nice day outside Athens. It was quite crowded in Mycenae, but the tour was still enjoyable.
