ITINERARY

 

  • Our driver will meet you at your Athens accommodation and head out of the city towards the ancient city of Corinth by making first a short stop ( about 20 minutes ) at the top of the Corinth Canal for photos and to enjoy the stunning view.
  • We then continue our trip to reach the picturesque seaside town of Nafplio, the first modern capital of Greece. Your driver will make his way up to the Palamidi to visit the fortress that was built at the 17th century and enjoy the magnificent view.
  • Afterwards the driver will take you to the main town where you will be able to have some free time on your own to stroll around the area with the nice pedestrian roads.
  • During your time in Nafplio, you will discuss with your driver if you wish to have lunch somewhere there or our driver to take you to the nearby town of Tolo to enjoy your lunch by the sea.
  • It is now time to head back  so you will be driven back the same route and arrive after about 2 hours at your Athens accommodation.

NOTE : This tour is also ideal for holidays when the archeological sights are closed.

We all very much enjoyed our tour around Athens. Our tour guide was well spoken, pleasant & gave us quite a bit of knowledge about Athens. We highly recommend your company.

Annette & Howard Cooper

My husband Howard and I would like to thank you very much for arranging our tour of Athens last week. We felt that we saw more of Athens in one day than many people are able to see on their own in a week.

Barry Strauss, USA

“Dear George, Thank you for an unforgettable day of touring yesterday. Marcia and I feel fortunate to have met you. We are grateful for your splendid display of Greek φιλοξενία. With best wishes!”

Bill & Sharon , USA

We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip with you last week. You helped to make our 25th anniversary trip to Greece something that we will never forget. Thanks so much for the pastries and peaches you gave us.

Craig., USA

Υour service was just what we needed. We were all jet lagged and couldn’t think, so George did our thinking for us. Lots of good stories and Cape Sounion was beautiful.

Deborah Bennett, USA

George, Just wanted to let you know what a GREAT time we had with your son Dennis when we were in Athens 2 weeks ago from our NCL Jade cruise…he was polite, informative, gracious, attentive. We certainly enjoyed our all too brief visit, thanks to his help!

Charlotte, USA

We are hoping to be back in Athens early next year and will defiantly use your company for our travel and touring needs. Thank you again for the first class service.

Andrea Bry, USA

I wanted to write to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour of Athens with your son Billy. I will forward your information to our travel agent for her information and future clients.
