Program details
Combine two fantastic day trips that allow you to escape the hustle and bustle of Athens and see two of the most important cultural and historical sites in Greece; Delphi and Argolis. Enjoy both guided tours, with a delicious local lunch included, and be dropped off back at your Athens hotel at the end of the day.
The tour of Argolis winds through some of Europe's most beautiful scenery to visit the best of modern and ancient Greece. Visit the peaceful hilltop ruins of ancient Mycenae, once an imposing military stronghold and enjoy a romantic stroll through Nafplio, the stunning first capital of Greece. Then test out the remarkable acoustics of Epidaurus for yourself in the majestic amphitheatre which delighted the traveler Pausanias back in the 2nd century and is still used for dramatic performances to this day.
Explore the mystical town of Delphi, steeped in tradition. According to the legend, Zeus released two eagles from the furthest easterly and westerly points of the earth and their paths crossed above Delphi thus declaring it the centre or the ‘navel of the earth’. Explore the stunning ruins and learn about the power of the Delphic oracle, whose prophecies drew kings, emperors and warriors from across the ancient world.
The tours are flexible and you can choose the order of the trips to suit your schedule so discover the delights of Greece beyond Athens with this exclusive two-tour combination.
