Athens · NAFPLIO DAY TRIPS
The first capital of modern Greece, with a Venetian fort on an islet in its bay and a staircase of roughly a thousand steps up to another. Most trips pair it with Mycenae’s Lion Gate and the theatre at Epidaurus. These 15 compare how much free time you get in the old town — the part people wish they had more of.

“Fantastic guide Krysia gave us extensive knowledge of the history of Mycenae Nafplio and Epidaurus. This trip and the Meterora Monasteries though long days were the highlights of our trip in Athens besides the Acropolis Museum and site. Do not hesitate to book with this group and the ride through the Peloponnese was a treat.”

“This trip was well worth the money!! It was really nice to see a little bit of everything the times in each place are short but it was long enough and a great way to see a little of everything. We ordered lunch from the a la carte menu on the day but it really wasn’t great (nor the included lunch) it’s a restaurant in the middle of no where and nothing special at all- it would have been much better to stop in Nafplio. There was a stop at a pottery workshop at the end not mentioned in the itinerary. Efi our tour guide was absolutely incredible and we…”

“It was a lovely day exploring a different area in Greece. Peloponnese Region had spectacular views, history and charm. It would have been nice to enjoy Nafplio longer (we basically only had time for lunch) with no exploration time. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon with Dora our guide who had a thorough knowledge of the area. Our driver made me feel very safe by following speed limits and adhering to trafffic (very important when lives are under your care). Highly recommend this tour !!”
