Description

Exclusive VIP Day Tour from Athens - Start Any Day Discover the Mycenaean Civilization by trekking through one of the most important kingdoms of Ancient Greece. Visit the first Greek capital, Nafplio.
Enjoy our alternative tour to Mycenae and Ancient Corinth and see the history from a different perspective.

We begin our tour in Corinthian Canal and Ancient Corinth, where according to the myth, the first kings of Corinth were descendants of Sisyphos, the man who was punished by the Gods for his hubris. Explore the ruins and observe the ships passing through the Corinthian Gulf from the Acropolis, like the ancient times.

We head to Prosimna Village, where we begin our trekking route to Mycenae Archaeological Site, through the olive trees valley and passing some ancient ruins. Mycenae ‘Rich in Gold’, the kingdom of mythical Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks during the Trojan War — first sung by Homer in his epics — is the most important and rich palatial center of the Late Bronze Age in Greece. (optional) Explore by your own the Lions Gate, the tomb of Clytemnestra, the Cyclopean Walls and the treasury of Atreus.

After that, we will visit the first capital of Modern Greece, the city of Nafplion, where we stroll around the narrow alleys, with the breathtaking view of Palamidi castle and Bourtzi fortress.
