Afterwards, make a short stop in the village of Epidaurus and see its Hellenic theatre. Drive along the scenic coastal road of the Saronic Gulf, and arrive at the archeological site of Mycenae. Explore the historical setting for much of ancient Greek literature, including the works of the poet Homer.

Fantastic! Our guide was brilliantly informative whilst having great humour. Being on a small mini van really helped too. 10 minutes longer in Mycenae for a proper museum look would have made this even better but understand it's a tight schedule. We didn't have the included lunch option at Nafplio and glad didn't as there are in a lovely restaurant by the sea (there are many to choose from). Recommended!

The tour was good and interesting. Everything was OK except the included lunch: instead of eating in beautiful Napflio, we were driven for almost half an hour in the middle of nowhere to get a terrible lunch in an empty hotel.

A good way to (re)discover the Peloponnese and complete a stay in Athens. The guide provided a lot of information on the history of the country, its geography, the context of the sites visited and some indications to make the most of the visits, knowing that the overall timing is ultimately rather tight ( especially at Epidaurus, where the site is quite imposing). In Mécènes, don't miss the museum which has some pretty nice souvenirs to bring back.
