Private Daytrip to Athens and Nafplio

This tour starts with the greatest heritage bequeathed by the Greek antiquity to the world. In the second half of the fifth century BC, Athens celebrates the significant victory over the Persians and establishes democracy, achieving a leading position amongst the other city-states of the ancient world. In the years that follow, art and thought flourish and the ambitious Athenian statesman Pericles coordinates a unique group of artists to transform the rocky hill into the exceptional monument also called the “Sacred Rock”. The Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the temple of Athena Nike are the greatest monuments built on it during that time. After that you get the vibes of the city and we head to Corinth. There you will have the opportunity to see the canal which had been an inspiration for more than 2700 years! The man who first had the idea was Periandros the tyrant from Corinth. He found it difficult on the way but he came up to another interesting idea. The name of it was diolkos. For those who had money and didn’t want to sail around Peloponnese peninsula. Finally after several people trying to succeed in this huge achievement, the canale was constructed in 1893. After that we head to the first capital of Greece where you have the opportunity to see impressive sights such as the Palamidi castle which is preserved in excellent condition and is of great Venetian fortification architecture. It is accessed by the road or by the famous steps that are supposed to be 999!
