Itinerary
A quick stop to loop around the canal. One of the most important projects of modern Greece, which played a catalytic role in the Mediterranean trade.
OPTIONAL: Ancient Corinth was inhabited in the Neolithic period (6500-3250 BC) but the big prosperity begins in the 8th century. Corinth was a city-state and for Christians, Corinth is well known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of the Paul the Apostle's missionary travels.
The home of King Agamemnon and the Mycenean civilization. Mycenae 'Rich in Gold', the kingdom of mythical Agamemnon, first sung by Homer in his epics, is Greece's most important and richest palatial center of the Late Bronze Age.
OPTIONAL: Walk down the 999 steps and enjoy the amazing views of the water
LUNCH & DRINKS: A highlight of this tour. Real Greek lunch away from the touristy locations.
One of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (Eastern Peloponnese) as well as one of the most romantic cities all over Greece. Explore the Old Town and Port.
The theatre of Epidaurus (it was built in 330-320 BC) represents the finest and best-preserved example of classical Greek theatre. Even by today's standards, this monument stands out as a unique artistic achievement through its admirable integration into the landscape and above all the perfection of its proportions and incomparable acoustics.
... back to Athens on a different route to enjoy the views before your drop-off at your hotel.

This tour ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Greece — and honestly, we would not have visited these places if it hadn’t been for this tour. Trying to organise Corinth Canal, Mycenae, Nafplio and Epidaurus independently in one day would have been far more stressful. Nikos was fantastic. He took us to some incredible viewpoints along the way that we wouldn’t have found ourselves and shared lots of local insights and stories that made the journey much more interesting. It felt much more personal than a standard tour. Pickup and drop-off were incredibly easy and seamless, which made the whole day stress-free from start to finish. The lunch was also excellent — the seasonal salad with dried figs was a personal favourite and such a memorable touch. Overall, everything felt very easy, well-organised and relaxed. Nikos was warm, professional and made the entire experience very pleasant. Highly recommend if you want to see these sites without the hassle of planning it all yourself.
Great! Thanks, Akash!
Nikos was an excellent guide and driver. We wanted to go out of Athens and Nikos showed us many good sites as well as taking us to a local restaurant that was wonderful. Highly recommended
Bryan & Cynthia. Thank you very much for your comments!
Our private day tour from Athens to Corinth and Nafplio was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! The itinerary was fantastic, including stops at the Corinth Canal, a wonderful winery visit, and an amazing lunch in beautiful Nafplio. Everything was perfectly planned and allowed us to experience so much in one day without ever feeling rushed. What truly made the experience unforgettable was our driver, Panayiotis. From the moment he picked us up at the Athens airport and took us to our Airbnb, we knew we were in great hands. He was informative, friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we enjoyed every part of the journey. He went above and beyond our expectations in every way possible. More than just a driver, Panayiotis made the day feel personal and special. We truly enjoyed spending time with him and getting to know him along the way. His knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor made the entire experience even better. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Greece, from **EUDAIMONIA Tour Experiences **and especially recommend requesting Panayiotis if you can! Michael
We appreciate your taking the time to write about your experience with us! THANK YOU!
It was a wonderful day full of beautiful sights, much information, and good company.
Thanks, Karen. Enjoy the rest of your travels!
Panayiotis was very friendly, prompt, helpful with suggestions on all things. I highly recommend everyone to use him! You will not be disappointed. Thanks again
Thank you very much, Charles and friends!
From start to finish, this trip was thoughtfully curated and accommodating to our needs. My father has some additional mobility considerations, and Theo was more than willing to assist and flex to make sure we were all comfortable during our travels and our stay in Nafplio. The trip was well organized, down to the lunch details! Can’t go wrong with Theo as your guide!
Thank you very much, Julie. From the team of Eudaimonia Private Tours & Experiences.
Fantastic experience, Seamless booking with Nikos and very good communication. Our guide Theo was brilliant, He is an archaeologist and historian who provided an in depth overview of all places we went. He is a very patient and very good driver as well in Greek traffic.. We saw many sights that we otherwise would not have known about. The hotels chosen were superb, and the food was divine. I certainly need to go on a diet now. We would highly recommend this tour to all.
Thank you very much! We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience with us.
Cannot recommend this tour enough! You will see some of the most incredible historic sites in the region, at a comfortable pace, and with a most knowledgeable guide. Pananyiotis shared a wealth of knowledge and interesting historical facts in perfect English. We had ample time at each location with the freedom to move at our own pace and were able to see many sites throughout the day. The car was very clean and comfortable - the AC and tour-provided ice cold water brought much relief after walking outside in the hot sun. The lunch was absolutely delicious! It’s clear they know their restaurants and exactly what to order - trust them, they won’t steer you wrong.
Thank you, Amelia! Happy to have pleased you and your sister. Your choice to travel from Hydra to Athens via Nafplio and explore the area's amazing landmarks was excellent and not an easy decision for people to consider. Thank you for taking this tour with our agency.
I had previously taken a tour to this area of the Peloponnese with a bus tour. It was a very long day being on their schedule and going to some things that I was not interested in (like the pottery school/shop). I absolutely love this area and wanted to experience it again with my husband - this time seeing the sites that were important to me and in a reasonable amount of time. Nikos did not disappoint! It was a delightful day, and we saw all the places listed as promised! Also, I cannot say enough about the excellent Greek meal provided to us in Nafplio! This day was certainly one of the highlights to Greece, and I highly recommend taking it. Thank you for a wonderful day Nikos.
Peloponnese needs more than a day :) But given your available time, we did well! We are glad you appreciated our effort to cover as much as possible of a real Greek experience. All the best. Nikos
Panos did an expert job of guiding us through a tour of Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidaurus, and the Corinth Canal. The deep historical contrasts and similarities between Mycenae and Epidaurus were especially striking. You can feel the ancient presence of those places. Panos’s expansive knowledge on a myriad of subjects added to the richness of the experience, and he’s a funny guy. His intelligence and professionalism were much appreciated.
Thank you, Eric! A great review for Panos. Always nice to be appreciated. He enjoys traveling with nice people! It helps him offer his best self!
