Athens & the Peloponnese

Meet your guide in the hotel this morning for a private tour of the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, and the Plaka area of Athens.

You’ll leave Athens with your private driver this morning and travel to the Peloponnese. Cross the Corinth Canal before arriving in Epidavros where you’ll have a private tour of this archaeological site, including the acoustically perfect theatre. You’ll finish the tour at a local olive oil producer where you’ll tour the facilities and sample the oil it produces before journeying to Nafplio.

Learn about the history of Nafplio today and gain a better understanding of the historical heart of the town on a privately guided walking tour.

Experience the coast of the Peloponnese from the water today on a private sailboat cruise. There’ll be time to swim, snorkel and relax on deck. The afternoon is free to explore more of Nafplio.

Your driver will meet you at the hotel this morning for a transfer to the ferry dock in Metochi from where you’ll sail across to the island of Hydra. You’ll have the afternoon to explore the shops and restaurants of the port area and see the little mules which transport all the goods on the island.

See the less-visited area of Hydra today on a hike to the Monastery of Agia Matrona with your private guide. These rustic trails offer a quiet escape, and the views of the sea and town are remarkable.

You’ll return to Athens today by ferry for a final night in the city before departing. You’ll have a private transfer from the port to your hotel, and later spend your last evening learning how to prepare traditional Greek dishes with a cooking class and dinner at a local family home.

You’ll have a private transfer to the airport this morning for your flight home. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
