Activity itinerary

Corinth Canal

  • 15m
We’ll depart from Athens and follow the scenic coastal road to our first stop — the Corinth Canal. This impressive 19th-century engineering marvel connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea. (Short stop)

Nafplio

  • 2h
Our next destination is the charming seaside town of Nafplio — also known by its historic name, Napoli di Romania — considered one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in Greece. Once the first capital of the modern Greek state, Nafplio is filled with neoclassical buildings, narrow cobblestone alleys, and elegant Venetian influences. As we stroll through its picturesque streets, we’ll take in the grandeur of the Palamidi Fortress perched high above the town, the iconic Bourtzi Castle rising from the middle of the harbour, and the beautiful Cathedral of Saint George, an important landmark of the old town. After our guided walk, you’ll have some free time to explore at your own pace — perhaps to enjoy a coffee by the sea, browse the local boutiques, or simply soak in the relaxed atmosphere of this captivating town.

Citadel and Treasury of Atreus

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Next, we continue our journey to the ancient citadel of Mycenae, the heart of one of the earliest and most legendary civilisations in the world. Revered for its connection to the epic tales of the Trojan War, Mycenae is said to be the kingdom of the mighty King Agamemnon — the leader of the Greek forces who sailed to Troy to reclaim the beautiful Helen. As we explore this remarkable archaeological site, we’ll pass through the iconic Lion’s Gate, the imposing entrance to the ancient city, and marvel at the massive Cyclopean Walls, whose enormous stones have stood for millennia. We’ll also visit the Treasury of Atreus (also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon), an extraordinary beehive-shaped tomb built for a Mycenaean king. After our guided visit, we’ll take a relaxing lunch break in Mycenae, giving you a chance to enjoy a meal surrounded by the echoes of ancient history.
