Experience Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Athens to Mycenae & Nafplio
Depart Athens after breakfast and head west across the Corinth Canal — a perfect first photo stop of the trip. Continue into the Argolid plain to Mycenae, the legendary kingdom of Agamemnon. Explore the archaeological site including the Lion Gate, royal tombs, and the Treasury of Atreus. After your visit, drive to Nafplio — one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. Spend the afternoon strolling through the old town, enjoying a seaside lunch, and soaking in the atmosphere of this former Greek capital.
Epidaurus, Nemea & Return to Athens
After a leisurely breakfast in Nafplio, visit the ancient Theatre of Epidaurus — a masterpiece of classical architecture renowned for its astonishing acoustics. Test them yourself by standing at the center of the orchestra. From there, choose to visit the Nemea wine region for a tasting at a local vineyard, or take the scenic route back through the countryside. Arrive in Athens by late afternoon, refreshed from a weekend in the Peloponnese.
Historical Significance
The Argolid is one of the most historically rich regions in Greece. Mycenae was the seat of the powerful Mycenaean civilization that dominated the Aegean world from 1600 to 1100 BCE. Epidaurus was the most important healing center of the ancient world, dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine. And Nafplio — with its Venetian, Ottoman, and neoclassical heritage — served as the first capital of modern Greece from 1829 to 1834.
