You'll embark on an elegant car or minivan and take in the breathtaking Saronic Gulf scenery. You'll make a photo stop at Corinth Canal after a roughly one-hour journey. Then, you'll reach the historic hilltop city of Mycenae in approximately 25 minutes, where you may take a walking tour of the ruins. Highlights include the Palace, the Tomb of Agamemnon, and the Lion's Gate, which you can admire. You'll then make a stop at the charming harbour of Nafplio. Before moving on to old Epidaurus, you'll meander around the winding lanes framed by the vivid bougainvillea trees and savor delectable Greek fare.

You'll visit relics such as the Sanctuary of Asklepios, which is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and has ruined buildings. After that, you'll gaze at Epidaurus' ancient theater. The enormous theater, which was constructed in the fourth century BC, is regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world and still has excellent acoustics.

Your journey will end in Athens, where it began.

Private Athens Tour with Acropolis and Plaka

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
