Explore Peloponnese: Full-Day Tour of Ancient Mycenae, Epidaurus Theater & Nafplio
Start your day with a scenic drive from Athens along the coast to Peloponnese, featuring a first stop at the awe-inspiring Corinth Canal. This 6 km long and 80m high marvel offers a perfect photo opportunity. Next, explore the ancient Epidaurus Theater, renowned for its outstanding acoustics and aesthetics, attracting millions to its ancient drama performances.
Continue to the historic site of Ancient Mycenae, where you’ll be surrounded by the impressive Cyclopean walls, marvel at the iconic Lion’s Gate, and discover the treasures of King Atreus’ Tomb. Mycenae, a pivotal center in Greek civilization, offers a deep dive into the Mycenaean period of Greek history, from 1600 BC to 1100 BC.
Afterward, visit the Museum of Ancient Mycenae for further insights, followed by a journey to the charming town of Nafplio, Greece’s first modern capital. Wander through its traditional streets, explore ancient Byzantine churches, climb the castle with its breathtaking views and 999 steps, or take a boat to the Bourtzi island fortress.
