En route to Mycenae, witness the renowned Corinth Canal and pause briefly to appreciate this engineering wonder that links the Aegean and Ionian seas.
From the center of Athens, it takes 60 minutes to reach the Corinth Canal.
- Archaeological Site Mycenae - Proceed to Mycenae, a pivotal city in ancient Greece. Explore the Mycenaean Acropolis, the tomb of Agamemnon, and the remnants of the Cyclopean walls that once safeguarded this powerful city. Additionally, visit the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae.
Entrance fee from November to March is 12 euros, and from April to October is 6 euros.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - Continue to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, a 4th-century theatre that stands as one of the best-preserved Classical Greek structures. It is famous for its exceptional acoustics; a coin dropped at the center can be heard from the highest seat. The theatre accommodates up to 14,000 people, with its entrance adorned by restored Corinthian pilasters. It is currently used for performances of Ancient Greek drama during the annual Hellenic Festival.
Entrance fee from November to March is 12 euros, and from April to October is 6 euros.
- Nafplio - Finally, visit the charming city of Nafplio, the first capital of Greece post-Independence and a significant port since the Bronze Age. Its strategic location is marked by three fortresses: the grand Palamidi, the smaller Akronafplia, and the water castle Bourtzi on an islet west of the old town. Wander through the delightful narrow streets, and admire the elegant Venetian houses, neoclassical mansions, and quayside cafes.
Take the chance to shop, dine in a traditional restaurant, relax at the cafes in the scenic port, or during summer, swim in the clear waters at Arvanitia beach.
The journey concludes with a two-hour drive back to Athens through the countryside.

Enjoyable Experience - I enjoyed my excursion to Mycenae, Epidaurus & Nafplio. The round trip lasted about 10-11 hours. The bus was comfortable. Our guide was knowledgeable. We were given older cellphones w headphones that were our VR guides at the ancient sites. I thought that was pretty cool because it showed you how the site looked like in ancient times with a recorded narrator trying to take you into the past. On the way to the ancient sites, we had a quick stop at the Corinth Canal which was nice to see. Mycenae had beautiful hillside views with the museum at the base (a little confusing to find) down the road (short bus ride) was Menelaus tomb. About half hour ride later we were in Nafplio, which was REALLY pretty. Wished we spent more time in Nafplio. Last stop was Epidaurus. There was a small museum & the famous amphitheater. Overall I enjoyed my experience. I love history but sometimes it can be too many museums after another so it was nice that the museums on this excursion weren’t too large. The views in Mycenae & Nafplio were worth it.

Good experience, the VR... - Good experience, the VR adds a cool element of visualization and allows you to explore at your own pace instead of everyone following the guide in a big group which I liked

Recommend for Independent people - The experiance was wonderful. Especially because of helplfull, nice and smile tour leader - Dido. I wish everyone had a tour leader like she was. I will have only good memories. Also big thank you to our driver - Dimitri. Riding with him was a nice experiance too. You could tell he was an experienced driver.
The only thing I think could be changed is to shorten the time spent visiting Mycenae (at least by half an hour) and add that time to Nafplio. This city has so much to offer. Despite this, I highly recommend it!

Absolutely wonderful! - First off Stefanos and Dimitri were absolutely wonderful! They were very punctual, friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time. Stefanos provided lots of intersting facts with a smile. We had a small issue with a third party booker very where they falsely advertised, how long the stops would be. Which then caused problems for sight see grayline. But the whole time Stefanos handled it wonderful trying to solve the issue that wasn't even his companys fault! All and all a thousand stars out of 5 to Grayline sight see Athens as they have a wonderful level of professionalism and problem solving. If you book through a third party any problems with itinerary is NOT the tour companies fault. Its the third parties. Will definitely be using their company again! It was also wonderful have the tickets already figured out for us, Stefanos also reccomend good places to eat along with being extremely caring by asking how the food was and how we liked each stop. The bus was nice and cozy, great air conditioning and wifi

Good trip - This is a top day trip to do while staying in Athens. Mycenae especially was really interesting. We did not have enough time to fully see Epidaurus, but we saw the highlights. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is that the VR guide was glitchy
and often got stuck. We also appreciated the half price coist forkids.

We will do that again. - The trip is super efficient with four sites in one trip, no shopping was included as in some other tours and no time wasted. The tour guide is friendly and gives attention to everyone. We bought a package with admission fee included. The company marked up the tickets significantly, like 20 euros per person. Whereas we enjoy avoiding lines at ticket windows, we thought the company does not need to mark up the admission tickets, in particularly its all electronics these days and it does not take take company extra work to get tickets for us. On the other hand, the company can usually get bulk rates, from which they can pocket the differences. Other than that, it’s a great trip. We would do that again.

I booked this tour as I... - I booked this tour as I saw it finishes in Nafplio, and I wanted to spend some more time in the city. During the booking I informed the tour operator that I'd like to stay in Nafplio and not to go back to Athens. On the day of the trip it turned out that not Nafplio was the last spot, which made me a bit disappointed. I was refunded with the ticket price to Epidaurus, but this is not what I planned. The tour guide was nice though and very helpful. What I nor liked that the tour was kind of rushy I guess due to the traffic jam in Athens, and we couldn't spend the advertised time in the locations.
I'd not say not to book with this tour operator, but if you want to finish in Nafplio, then not this trip is the one you're looking for.

Too cold and too wet and too little information for a hearing loss type person but the guide was charming. - It poured not for one half hour or two hours but all day. We were wet and cold and uncomfortable. Also I am hard of hearing and could not use the audio device and so on the sites I had no guide but the information along the trail . I would want a human guide next time.
