From Athens center we need 60 min to reach the Corinth Canal

  • The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - Continue on to the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, a 4th-century theatre which is one of the best-preserved Classical Greek structures in existence. It is renowned for its amazing acoustics; a coin dropped in the theatre’s center can be heard from the highest seat. The theatre seats up to 14,000 people and its entrance is flanked by restored Corinthian pilasters. It’s now used for performances of Ancient Greek drama during the annual Hellenic Festival.

  • Nafplio - Last but no least , make a stop in the picturesque city of Nafplion, which was the first capital of Greece after Independence and has been a major port since the Bronze Age. Its position was so strategic that the city has 3 fortresses: the massive fortress of Palamidi, the smaller Akronafplia, and the water castle Bourtzi on an islet west of the old town. Stroll through the attractive narrow streets, and admire the elegant Venetian houses, neoclassical mansions, and quayside cafes.

Take the opportunity to go shopping, eat in a traditional restaurant, chill out at the cafes in the picturesque port, or when in summer take a swim in the crystal waters at Arvanitia beach.

Then we head back to Athens in a 2 hours drive throught the countryside

Excellent day trip - Irene, our tour guide, gave us an excellent day. We had enough time at each venu to enjoy each place. The VR helped recreate what the ruins would have been like. A good mix of interesting places making the long day worth while.

All perfect - We did this excursion with our guide Maria. I highly recommend it because it is very well organized. I recommend bringing more than one bottle of water because at the various archaeological sites they sell it like gold

I recommend ++ - This experience was amazing, and allowed me to discover the Péloponnèse while I was staying in Athens. Furthermore than the beauty of the sites, I have really appreciated the kindness, competences, and disponibility of Irene, the guide, who speaks perfectly english and french !

The organisation is well thought, and the time of visit, more than enough yo finish the day with beautiful pictures and memories. I am more than grateful, thank you 🙏
