This tour will take us to the major sites of the Peloponnese, both ancient and modern, from the Homeric city of Mycenae, to Epidauros, Palamidi Castle in Nafplio and the Corinth Canal. The kingdom of Mycenae was one of the first great centres of the Greek culture; settlement on this site dates back to the second millennium BC. According to Homer, Mycenae was the seat of Agamemnon, who led the Greeks against the Trojans to take back Helen, the wife of his brother Menelaus.You will see the Lion Gate, which formed the entrance to the royal court and palace. We will also travel to Epidaurus and see the world-renowned Epidaurus theatre. Built in the 4th century BC, it is famous for its acoustics, which are so perfect that words spoken on stage can be heard perfectly wherever you are in the audience. Stepping forward in history, we will see the Palamidi Castle in Nafplio, built by the Venetians and famous for supposedly having 999 steps.

As we cross the Isthmus, we stop to see the great feat of engineering that finally opened the route between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal. It was finished in 1893, even though the idea existed at least as far back as 602 BC!
Travel to Epidaurus and see the world-renowned Epidaurus theater. Built in the 4th century BC, it is famous for its acoustics, which are so perfect that words spoken on stage can be heard perfectly wherever you are in the audience.
Stepping forward in history, we will see the Palamidi Castle in Nafplio, built by the Venetians and famous for supposedly having 999 steps. According to legend, there were once 1000 steps leading to the castle, but one of them was crushed by Theodoros Kolokotronis, a leader of the Greek war of independence, during celebrations for a victory against the Ottomans.
Mycenae was the seat of Agamemnon, who led the Greeks against the Trojans to take back Helen, the wife of his brother Menelaus. The ruins of the ancient city are famous for the amazing “Cyclopean walls” - so named because the later Greeks thought that only a Cyclops could move such huge rocks into place. You will see the Lion Gate, which formed the entrance to the royal court and palace.

We used Catt Taxi for transfers, did the half day Athens tour and a full day Peloponnese Tour as well. All were fantastic and Terry is an awesome driver! Very knowledgeable and customized everything to our liking. Please don't hesitate to use this company they are truly fantastic!!
I attended this tour with my wife on our dream vacation to Greece. Our driver not only took us to see a multitude of sights that we would have never known to visit otherwise, but also made sure to accommodate any specific needs that we had. For instance, my wife and I each had to take PCR tests in advance of an upcoming flight; our driver went ahead and took us to a local clinic to have our samples taken so that we could focus on sightseeing with no distractions. My personal favorite destination was the Epidaurus theater. My wife and I took turns speaking from the stage seeing how well the other could hear from the stands. Five stars. Will recommend to any tourists traveling to Greece.
Me and My Husband booked a Day Travel to Peloponesse with Cattaxi. Like other newbie travelers, we searched best tour through TripAdvisor - one by one i read the tour package highlights and other guests experiences, then we decided to go with CatTaxi. Guess what? It turned out after full day trip to Peloponesse, we booked another trip in Athens for the next day! We were glad to have a wonderful and knowledgeable service from Mr.Terry, that along the road he explained sites that we’re going to visit, like Corinth Canal, Theater of Epidavros and Napflia and Archaeological site of Mycenae. He even gave us an insight of local food at the trip! What a Plus Plus Plus , my husband totally happy with his service! We will be having another great time tomorrow! Thank you CatTaxi for all the accommodations, and Mr.Terry for the excellent service :) We would not forget our excellent first trip together! For Travelers who see my review and hasn’t decided to use any of tours in Athens, I suggest believe on the reviews. You’ll thankful when you have guidance from local. Oh did I mentioned that Mr. Terry gave his time to accommodate our schedule of Covid PCR test we would need to fly back to US? And he also gave us a precious upgrade with the vehicle, of course it doesn’t always be an upgrade, we were so lucky! He is the right person to give anyone the ultimate travel experience around Athens and surrounding! Good luck!
Terry was our driver that picked us up at the airport on our first day in Athens. He was so helpful on that first day letting us know the sites to see and some of the history of Greece. He let us know about the excursions that his company offers and when we were returning to Athens from Santorini we called him and set up this tour for when we got back. The trip was very amazing, Terry is a great person to take you around to the many sites. He would then give us an overview of where to go in the historical sites we visited and what we would see there, and also the history of the site. This was a great trip especially if you are looking for something outside of the big city. We were never rushed to get out of the sites and also had plenty of time to explore Napfloi for lunch and shopping.
We had an excellent tour of the northern Peloponnese with Terry. His excellent American accented English made it easy to talk about current life in Greece as well as the ancient history. Learning of our interest in gardening he arranged a visit to a vineyard on the spot. He was also fine with returning to Athens early when we decided we had enough for the day.
