WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Corinth Canal
Embark in our air-conditioned modern bus from 4 central meeting points and travel for 1-hour to the area of Peloponnese. On the way to Mycenae, see the famous Corinth Canal and make a quick stop to admire this engineering marvel that connects the Aegean and Ionian seas. From Athens center we need 60 min to reach the Corinth Canal
2. Archaeological Site Mycenae
Continue towards Mycenae, one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. Visit the Mycenaean Acropolis, the tomb of Agamemnon, and the ruins of the Cyclopean walls that protected this mighty city. You can also visit the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae. entrance November to March 12 euros entrance April to October 6 euros
3. 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. entrance November to March 12 euros entrance April to October 6 euros
4. 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

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 driver Dimitri, also made extra stops so we could take pictures from nice viewpoints.
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 🙏

Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations, offering a unique blend of education and entertainment. The VR audio guide added a dynamic element to the experience, making it both informative and engaging. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a memorable journey through the wonders of ancient Greece.

Great trip with a knowledgeable and clear, friendly guide, Irene. All information regarding meeting point was clear, time at each stop was perfect and she cleverly reorganised the route to account for early closing of sites on Holy Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyable day out from Athens. Be aware that you will be 10-11 hrs!

The tour is well organised, you can see the best of what is in these places in one day. The pace is quite fast, perhaps not suitable for children under 3 years old. Very kind and well prepared guide.
Excellent value for money.

Our guide and bus driver were friendly, safe, and knowledgeable. They made a good team and the drives were comfortable. The 3 locations were all beautiful and the group had the freedom to do whatever they wanted. The guide does not accompany you on the excursions. The bus itself was cramped and there was less leg room than in a standard airplane seat. Because there were ~30 people, we occasionally would have to wait longer for people lagging behind the rest of the group. The "VR" aspect of the trip was the weakest. There are just small tablets with apps for the historical sites. The screens were barely visible with full brightness on and the sound would cut out constantly, making the tablets useless. Without the tablets the trip was still great and I wish we hadn't wasted so much time trying to get them to work correctly.
Overall it was a great trip but it was more of just transportation to nice locations with some background given during the ride, not a VR audio-guided tour.

Mycenae was fabulous but you would not want to to do it on a wet day as you walk up/downhill over many slippy stones. Aggamemnon tomb was far more impressive thean i imagined and had the feel of a pyramid. Napfilio was a lovely contrast and we had almost two hours so could do it justice. Epidaurus however was a big disappointment and unfortuneatley this was the last stop. Apart from the theatre (which is difficult to get to if you are less-abled) it is just piles of rocks/footings. The Museum is quite interesting but small. I suspect if there was something more interesting trips would go there instead
