Argolis Full-Day Private Tour from Athens 

Myth, beauty, and luxury — all in a single day 

Escape the city and follow the thread of history through the sun-drenched hills of the Peloponnese. Designed for travelers seeking depth, comfort, and authenticity, this full-day private tour through Argolis weaves together mythological legends, ancient ruins, and seaside elegance — all at your own pace. 

Your day begins with a relaxing drive in a fully licensed luxury vehicle, chauffeured by a professional English-speaking driver. Heading southwest from Athens, your first stop is the striking Corinth Canal — a narrow, sheer-sided passage that connects the Aegean to the Ionian Sea, and once separated the mythic region of Peloponnese from the rest of Greece. It’s a moment of awe — and a perfect photo opportunity. 

Continue to the Bronze Age kingdom of Mycenae, a city once so powerful Homer called it “rich in gold.” With your licensed guide, pass through the fabled Lion Gate, stand before the Cyclopean walls, and explore the Royal Tombs where kings and legends once lay buried. Don’t miss the Treasury of Atreus, a monumental beehive-shaped tomb whose scale still stuns after 3,000 years. 

Next, descend to the coast and arrive in Nafplio, arguably the most romantic town in Greece. Once the first capital of modern Greece, this jewel was shaped by Venetian grace and Frankish fortifications. Wander beneath bougainvillea-draped balconies, past neoclassical mansions and marble squares. Enjoy a seaside lunch at a carefully selected taverna, where fresh ingredients and Aegean views offer the perfect midday pause. 

 Optional Afternoon Extension: 
After lunch, extend your journey to Epidaurus, home to the most acoustically perfect ancient theatre in the world. Set within a pine-covered sanctuary dedicated to Asclepios, the god of healing, this sacred space once welcomed pilgrims from across the Mediterranean. It’s just the perfect finale to your myth-laced day. 

As the sun begins to soften, your driver returns you to Athens — with stories, scents, and images from a truly timeless day.
