Travel comfortably from Athens on a full-day guided tour covering the Corinth Canal, Ancient Mycenae, and free time in Nafplio, with seamless round-trip transfers included.

Walk through the UNESCO-listed citadel of Mycenae with a licensed guide, passing the Lion Gate, Cyclopean Walls, and the Treasury of Atreus.

Pause at the Corinth Canal for photos and context, learning how this narrow cut reshaped trade by linking the Aegean and Ionian Seas.

End the day in Nafplio, Greece’s first modern capital, with time to explore its old town, seaside views, and historic squares, or upgrade to include entry tickets and a traditional lunch in Mycenae.

Fun fact: The Corinth Canal is just 24 meters wide! It is so narrow that modern cruise ships still have to shut engines and be towed through, making it one of Greece’s most dramatic engineering feats.
