What to expect

Are you ready to explore Epidaurus and Mycenae during this one-day tour from Athens? Start your tour via the coastal National highway to see the famous Corinth canal (short stop). After this, you will enter the land of Homer’s Golden Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Dating back to the second century B.C., Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization and a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece. You will see the Cyclopean Walls, the Lion’s Gate, the Royal Tombs, and the Treasury of Atreus, a magnificent 14th-century B.C. structure.

You’ll continue your drive with a stop in Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece and home to the Palamidi Fortress. Enjoy a guided walking tour through the heart of the old town, then take a leisurely stroll on your own through its quaint alleys, where you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch at a local taverna (if you choose to include it) or a relaxing cup of coffee with a seaside view.

After Nafplio, the final stop of the tour is the theater of Epidaurus (entry not included) which is considered the best-preserved of ancient Greece and is still used today thanks to its exceptional acoustics. You’ll have the opportunity to visit the site and learn about its history with your guide. Alternatively, you can take a peaceful stroll through the small forest next to the theater or unwind with a coffee or tea, enjoying the sounds of nature before returning to Athens.
