Detailed itinerary

We’ll drive out of the city along the western coastline of Attica and after almost 80km, we will have our first stop to see the Corinth Canal.

Stop 2

This canal is probably the oldest major construction work in Greece (dated 1880-1893) that really changed everything in transportation, allowing ship interconnection between the Ionian and the Aegean Sea.

You will visit the spectacular Palamide castle. Perched above the city of Nafplio, this castle was built by the Venetians in 1711–1714. There is the option either to follow the famous steps (999 in total) until the castle entrance or to drive directly to the top and be rewarded with stunning views over the whole surrounding area.

We will then come down to the city where many options for a pleasant lunch are available for you, either inside the old picturesque town or by the sea with a great view of Bourtzi. Located on a tiny island off the harbor, Bourtzi was also built by Venetians in the 15th century and has known a long history as a castle, prison, hotel, office for tourism and housing for the Greek government.

Rest of the tour is free for you to explore the old medieval quarter, wander inside the many narrow stone paved streets and shop. Alternatively, you can enjoy swimming at one of the beaches nearby.
