Nafplio Escape from Athens
New
Begin in Athens and finish back in Athens on a relaxed 2 day adventure that mixes big history with breezy seaside vibes. You’ll cruise the coast to the Corinth Canal before exploring legendary Mycenae – think the Lion Gate, royal tombs and palace ruins – with an optional peek at a local pottery workshop. Then it’s on to charming Nafplio for free time among neoclassical mansions, cobbled lanes draped in bougainvillea and views of Palamidi and the Bourtzi out at sea. Enjoy a leisurely morning to soak it all in before returning to Athens – expect scenery, stories and plenty of photo stops.

Day 1 - Athens - Corinth - Mycenae - Nafplio - Argos
After an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Athens, we follow the coastal national highway to the Corinth Canal for a short stop. We continue to Mycenae to explore the archaeological site, including the palace complex, the Lionesses Gate and the Tomb of Agamemnon. Before we pause for lunch – not included – you may choose to visit a pottery factory. After lunch, we drive through Argos and proceed to Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, making a brief stop to see the Venetian fortress of Palamidi and the fortified islet of Bourtzi. You will be dropped in the centre of Nafplio for some free time before making your own way to the hotel. Overnight in Nafplio.
Day 2 - Nafplio - Athens
After breakfast at the hotel, you have the day free to explore Nafplio at your own pace. Set between the sea and surrounding hills, the town is compact and walkable, with neoclassical mansions, cobbled streets and balconies draped in colourful bougainvillea, and a relaxed, elegant feel that makes it a popular weekend escape.
