We had a great day trip with Evangelos x2 (both our guide and driver had the same name)! The driver was excellent and Evan gave fun, informative commentary at every stop. Note: no food or drinks (except water) allowed on the bus. We skipped breakfast, which worked out since we couldn’t bring it onboard. The Corinth Canal stop has food, but it gets crowded with other tours. Unfortunately, our group had multiple people who were consistently late, cutting into our time at each location. Evan handled it well, but delays impacted the experience. In Nafplio, we skipped the group lunch to explore more, but time was shortened due to others being late. At the Epidaurus Theater, tickets are not included in the tour price most of us had to buy them on-site. Despite the delays, we loved the tour thanks to both Evangeloses. Just be mindful of time if you’re on a group tour!

there’s many many stops, but this tour was really great and didn’t feel rushed. total independence at each stop to decide how to spend your time :) i got lost hiking nearby epidaurus and thought i was going to die so i highly recommend not doing that and instead going to see the complex ;) i would definitely do this trip again!! it’s definitely very hot at the moment and each stop is outside so be prepared for that :)

Full description

Embark on a full-day guided tour of the ancient ruins of Mycenae from Athens, with a minimized environmental footprint. Walk in what was once a thriving center of ancient Greece and visit sites, including Epidaurus and the seaport of Nauplion.
During the late Bronze Age, the city of Mycenae played an important role in ancient Greece. This full-day trip from Athens provides the opportunity for you to explore this treasure of the ancient world.

Traveling by air-conditioned bus, you’ll make a brief stop at the Corinth Canal, a 3.9-mile engineering wonder connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Aegean Sea.

Mycenae is the historical setting for much of ancient Greek literature, including the works of the poet Homer. Tour the archeological site, home to the Lionesses Gate and the tomb of King Agamemnon.

You’ll continue your drive with a stop in Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece and home to the Palamidi Fortress. Enjoy a guided walking tour through the heart of the old town, then take a leisurely stroll on your own through its quaint alleys, where you’ll have time to enjoy a traditional lunch at a local taverna or a relaxing cup of coffee with a seaside view.

After Nafplio, the final stop of the tour is the city of Epidaurus, home to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed ancient theater and believed by the ancient Greeks to be the birthplace of Asklepios, son of Apollo. The theater of Epidaurus (entry not included) is considered the best-preserved of ancient Greece and is still used today thanks to its exceptional acoustics. You’ll have the opportunity to visit the site and learn about its fascinating history with your guide. Alternatively, you can take a peaceful stroll through the small forest next to the theater or unwind with a coffee or tea, enjoying the sounds of nature before returning to Athens.
