Description

Discover the Corinth Canal, Epidaurus, and Nafplio on a private tour from Athens. Sail through the Corinth Canal, visit the ancient Theater of Epidaurus, and explore the town of Nafplio.
Begin with a scenic drive from Athens to the Corinth Canal. Stop to admire this engineering marvel before boarding a boat for a cruise through the narrow waterway. Sail between towering limestone walls that rise over 70 meters above you and admire the stunning views as your boat glides through the narrow 6.3 km waterway connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas.

Next, head to the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 4th century BC in honor of Asklepios, god of healing, it formed part of his sacred sanctuary where pilgrims sought cures for body and soul. Perfectly preserved, the theater is renowned for its astonishing acoustics and harmonious design that reflect the ancient belief in balance between art and nature.

Finally, explore Nafplio, one of Greece’s most picturesque towns and the first capital of modern Greece. Stroll through its charming old town with Venetian architecture, neoclassical mansions, and narrow cobblestone streets filled with cafés and boutiques. Admire the Palamidi Fortress overlooking the bay, the Bourtzi Castle set on an island in the harbor, and enjoy free time.
