The Mythical Peloponnese is a limitless destination for private tours from Athens, Greece. A day trip from Athens to Nafplio town is a popular tour. Nafplio is also a great place to start exploring the Peloponnese region. You could even consider skipping Athens and heading with us to Nafplio from the airport!
Nafplio, the first capital of Greece, is famous for its Old Town with its narrow streets, beautiful alleyways, neoclassical mansions, and the famous Venetian fortress of Palamidi with the 999 steps—an all-year-round private tour and destination for both locals and tourists.
A day trip to Nafplio will be uncommon not to include some, if not all, of the following Peloponnese sites:
The Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, the Acropolis of Corinth, Mycenae Archeological Site and Museum, and of course Nafplio, Old Town and Port, Paramidi fortress, and the 999 steps, Epidaurus Ancient Theater.
Looking further into taking advantage of your Nafplio trip, we highly recommend visiting Hydra Island!
A day trip from Athens to Nafplio is a fantastic way to start with Greece and the Peloponnese region. Nafplio is only our first stepping stone to our extremely popular Peloponnese multiday private tours.
Monemvasia, Mani peninsula, Sparta/Mystras, Olympia, Messene, Methoni, Pylos, and the Arcadia mountain villages of Dimitsana and Stemnitsa.
