Four of Greece's great sites in one private day: the Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Mycenae and Epidaurus, with lunch in lovely Nafplio.
Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your hotel, apartment or the 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.
Just your group, at your own pace. Drivers don't guide inside the sites. Licensed guides are optional, available upon request for an additional fee, and subject to availability.
