Treat yourself to an unforgettable guided full day tour, taking you back in time through both the ancient Greek cities of Mycenae and Epidaurus, true gems of Classical Greece! See the fabulous Peloponnesus just as it was 4.000 years ago and visit Mycenae, the kingdom of legendary King Agamemnon, where the Great Cyclopean Walls surround the almost triangular acropolis, home of amazing marvels like the legendary Lion’s Gate, the Treasure of Atreus, the Royal Tombs and the archaeological Museum.
After visiting the beautiful nearby seaport city of Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, for a short coffee break, we will head to the small coastal town of Epidaurus, where in ancient times the site dedicated to the ancient Greek god-physician, the Sanctuary of Asclepius, was considered the most famous healing center of the Greek and Roman world. There, remarkably well-adapted to the landscape, lays the world famous Epidaurus Theatre, the most perfect example of Greek theatre in history, with its perfect acoustics and exceptional architectural proportions.
This magnificent full day tour, presenting to you a fantastic look back in Classical Greece through rural and coastal scenery alike, will give you a day to remember!

After visiting the beautiful nearby seaport city of Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, for a short coffee break (or an optional tasty lunch), we will head for the small coastal town of Epidaurus where we will have the chance to admire some of the true masterpieces of ancient Greek art, like the site dedicated to the ancient Greek god-physician, the Sanctuary of Asclepius, the most famous healing center of the Greek and Roman world in ancient times. Right next to it and remarkably well-adapted to the landscape lays the world famous Epidaurus Theatre, widely considered to be the most perfect example of Greek theatre in history, with its perfect acoustics and exceptional proportions, still in use today during the yearly Epidaurus Festival in August.
