Peloponnese Tour Itinerary

Departure 7.30 (flexible)

We pick you up at the Port or Airport or your Hotel in Athens at 7:30 am

Corinth Canal

The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects mainland Greece to the Peloponnese. The length of the Isthmus is about 6 kilometres and the narrowest point is where the Corinth Canal has been drilled (1880 to 1893).

Visit of Mycenae

After a short while, we will arrive at Mycenae. Mycenae (Μυκήνες, Μυκήναι) was an ancient city of Argolis and across the Argolic Gulf. The archaeological site of Mycenae is located about 120 kilometres southwest of Athens, in the northeastern Peloponnese.

Nafplion

In the captivating old town of Nafplion, with preserved architectural character and the three castles, Burtzi, Acronafplia and Palamidi, the aura of the first capital of the Greek state is pervasive.

Admire the city from high up by climbing almost 999 steps leading to the imposing castle of Palamidi (Palamidi is the fortress in Nafplion which was built in 1687 by the Venetians).

It is the most charming town in the Peloponnese and one of the favourite destinations for the weekend all year round. After enjoying the beautiful atmosphere of Nafplion you will have time to eat Greek food in local restaurants.

Visit Tolo*

If time permits it we will visit an idyllic place (Tolo) 7 kilometres away from Nafplio with wonderful crystal clear waters and a unique landscape view.

Epidaurus

We will continue our route to the ancient theatre of Epidaurus which is considered the finest ancient Greek theatre in terms of acoustics and aesthetics.

The ancient theatre was built by the architect Polykleitos the Younger according to Pausanias. Pausanias praises the theatre for its symmetry and beauty. With a maximum capacity of 13000-14000 spectators, it housed musicians, singers and dramatic contests which included the cult of Asclepius. Also used as a means of treatment for patients, as it was believed that the viewing of dramatic performances has beneficial effects on the mental and physical health of patients.
