What does the Mycenae and Nafplion premium tour include?
This full-day guided tour departs from Athens and heads into the Peloponnese to explore the ancient citadel of Mycenae and the coastal town of Nafplion. With an expert guide, comfortable transport, and a stop at the Corinth Canal, it covers two of Greece's most important historical destinations in a single day.
What will I see at Mycenae?
Mycenae was the seat of King Agamemnon and one of the most powerful centres of the Late Bronze Age. Your guide leads you through the Lion Gate, the oldest monumental sculpture in Europe, the royal grave circles where gold funeral masks were discovered, and the massive walls built from stones so large the ancient Greeks believed they were placed by Cyclopes. Nearby, the Treasury of Atreus (Tomb of Agamemnon) is a vast beehive-shaped tomb that remains one of the most impressive structures from the ancient world.
What is there to do in Nafplion?
Nafplion served as the first capital of modern Greece and retains a mix of Venetian, Ottoman, and neoclassical architecture. Free time lets you explore the old town's cobbled streets, walk along the waterfront promenade, climb to the Palamidi fortress for panoramic views, or sit down for lunch at a harbour-side taverna.
