Explore two landmarks of the ancient Argolis region on a private excursion from Athens. Discover the archaeological site of Mycenae then be charmed by the town of Nafplion and its Palamidi Fortress.
Dive deep into the authentic Peloponnese scenery with a day trip out of the bustling Athens. Choose between a guided, semi-guided, or non-guided option and make the most of your time traveling through the ancient gems of Argolis. Explore the ties of Mycenae and the town of Nafplion.
Starting with a pickup from your Athens hotel make the first stop at the Corinth Canal before continuing towards your destination. Reach Mycenae, an ancient city of Argolis near Tritos Mountain and across the Argolic Gulf. Step into the mystical archaeological site for an insightful visit.
Head over to the captivating town of Nafplion, with preserved architectural buildings and two castles, Acronafplia and Palamidi. Admire the city from high up by climbing almost 999 steps leading to the imposing Fortress of Palamidi. Afterward, enjoy free time to purchase and try typical Greek food.
If time permits, stop by an idyllic place, just 7 kilometers away from Nafplion, with wonderful crystal-clear waters and a unique landscape view. Continue to the ancient theater of Epidaurus, considered the finest ancient Greek theater in terms of acoustics and aesthetics.
