Travelers
Discover the cradle of ancient Greece on a private day trip from Athens through the Argolis. Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your hotel, apartment or Piraeus cruise port in an air-conditioned Mercedes with Wi-Fi and bottled water. Stop at the dramatic Corinth Canal, then walk among the ruins of Ancient Corinth and its Temple of Apollo, where St Paul once preached. At Mycenae, the kingdom of Agamemnon, pass through the famous Lion Gate and step inside the Treasury of Atreus. Enjoy lunch and free time in Nafplio, the elegant first capital of modern Greece, before visiting the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, famous for its perfect acoustics. Your driver does not guide inside the sites, but a licensed guide can be added for an extra fee. One private day, four of Greece's great sites, all at your own pace.
