Athens: Mycenae & Nafplion Premium Guided Tour

Begin by meeting your local guide in Athens and hopping on your coach. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Greek countryside, passing by picturesque landscapes and olive groves. Make a stop at the Corinth Canal, which united the Aegean Sea with the Corinth Gulf. Take photos of this engineering marvel.

Be driven to the impressive archaeological site of Ancient Mycenae, a powerful and rich centre of the Late Bronze Era, reaching its peak roughly between 1,350 to 1,200 BC.

Set on rocky terrain with sweeping views of the Argolic Gulf, Mycenae has endured for many centuries as the crowning achievement of the Mycenaean world, a civilisation shaped by gods and heroes and still capable of moving visitors through its legends and imposing architecture.

Marvel at the fortification wall - the Cyclopean Walls - enclosing a total area of 30,000 sq.m, and enter the Citadel passing through the Lion Gate. Follow the small path of 36 meters which leads to the entrance of the tomb of Agamemnon, the renowned tholos tomb called the Treasure of Atreus, distinguished by its colossal lintels and soaring beehive vault. Don't forget to check for the fascinating echo created at the interior!

Enjoy a traditional greek lunch at the village of Mycenae before heading to Nafplion, a picturesque coastal town known for its historical significance and charming atmosphere. Stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town, discovering its Venetian and Ottoman influences. Enjoy some free time, explore the cafes and shops, and choose the all-inclusive option to savor local fare at a seaside tavern before heading back to Athens.
