Description of our private tour to Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplion

The tour starts from Athens early in the morning. We will be driving along the lovely and picturesque coastal road towards Corinth. The first highlight of our tour is the Isthmus of Corinth and Corinth Canal. We will have a short stop here for pictures and we will continue towards Ancient Corinth. In the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth, you will see the unearthed agora, shops of the ancient time and a variety of interesting structures of the antiquity. The Archaeological Museum of Corinth is also a must see, since it houses some astounding pieces from the ancient times, dating back to the 5th century AD, as well as some impressive artifacts and statues from the Roman times, such as the gorgeous Lucius statue.

Our next stop will be Mycenae, which is one of the definite highlights of this full day private tour. Mycenae was the birthplace of the Mycenaean civilization and its archaeological site proves the importance and grandeur that this city state used to have in Ancient Greece.

The gigantic Lion’s Gate, the Cyclopean Walls and the impressive arched Royal Tombs will stay in your memory for a long time!

In Mycenae we will also enjoy our lunch in the countryside. After lunch, the private tour will continue towards Nafplion, the lovely Venetian town of Argolis Prefecture that used to be the first capital city of modern Greece in the 19th century.

We will have the time to see the imposing fortress of Palamidi that stands above the town and enjoy a nice, leisurely walk in the streets of the town, where you can see the authentic old houses of the town, but also an impressive variety of local shops that sell all kinds of handmade objects and jewelry.

After visiting Nafplion the full day private tour ends, thus we will be returning back to Athens late in the afternoon.
