What to expect

  1. Corinth
    1h
    Begin your day with a morning pickup from central Athens hotels and embark on a comfortable, air-conditioned ride for a memorable journey through the eastern Peloponnese.

    The first destination on your trip is the impressive Corinth Canal, a 19th-century engineering wonder that links the Aegean and Ionian Seas, allowing sailors to avoid a 400 km detour around the Peloponnese Peninsula. Take the opportunity to snap some amazing photos of this historic canal before continuing on your adventure.
  2. Mycenae
    2h
    Journey through historic towns on your way to Mycenae, one of the most important hubs of ancient Greek civilization. Travel back in time as you visit its famous ruins, such as the massive Cyclopean Walls, the iconic Lion Gate, and the royal tombs—accompanied by an expert guide who will bring their fascinating stories to life. Nearby, you'll also see the tomb of King Agamemnon, a powerful symbol of Mycenaean magnificence. Take a leisurely lunch break (if chosen) before continuing your adventure.
  3. Nafplio
    2h 30m
    Next, travel through the lush plains of Argolis to the charming town of Nafplion, which was Greece’s first capital. Located at the base of the Venetian Palamidi and Acronafplia castles, this scenic town provides an ideal spot for a quick photo stop at Palamidi Fortress before continuing on to your final destination—Epidaurus.

    Step back in time to the 4th century BC as you explore the Sanctuary of Asklepios, one of the ancient world’s most renowned healing centers. According to legend, Asklepios, the god of medicine, was born here, and the sanctuary became famous for its miraculous cures, attracting people from all over Greece and beyond.
  4. The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus
    1h
    Next, be amazed by the remarkable Theatre of Epidaurus, created by the architect Polyclitus the Younger in 340 BC. Renowned for its stunning acoustics and exceptional preservation, this ancient theater—capable of seating up to 13,000 spectators—continues to host performances during the Greek Festival in July and August, bringing ancient tragedies and comedies to the stage once again.
  5. Transfer To Athens - Athens
    1h 30m
