1Athens
We start from your Athens hotel/accommodation and optionally from the airport, the port of Athens (Piraeus), or any other location near Athens or Nafplio, or Hydra island.

Our first stop, the Corinth Canal, connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3
By crossing the Corinth canal we shall be entering the Mythical Peloponnese. Probably the best region of Greece that combines everything you need to make you feel Greek. The region is limitless in terms of locations of interest: culture, landscape, mountains, coastline, beaches, islands, food, drink, wineries, and attractions like caves and old railways. At the same time, the Peloponnese can offer you a real food experience.

GREEK COFFEE STOP? Nafplio is 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. We start with a Greek coffee at the main square of Nafplio right in the center of the Old Town. This is the most popular area of Nafplio next to the port. Then, we explore all the great spots of the Old Town and the port before heading for the Palamidi fortress.

LUNCH WITH THE LOCALS: A special location that tourists will not know and where the service, the owners, the food quality, and the atmosphere are "Greek". Multiple dishes for you to taste real Greek cuisine accompanied by beer or wine or any other soft drink.
1 hour 20 minutes • Admission ticket free -

Our final site to visit is the theatre of Epidaurus (built in 330-20 BC). It 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. We head to Athens following a different return route along the coastline almost 90% of the time.
