EXCURSION DESCRIPTION

Escape the hustle of Athens and embark on a full-day adventure through the Peloponnese, where ancient history, local flavors, charming towns, and stunning beaches await.

Your journey begins in Ancient Corinth, where the grandeur of the Temple of Apollo and the fascinating archaeological site bring the past to life. Walk through the ruins of one of antiquity's most significant cities, immersing yourself in its rich history and culture. Be sure to visit the archaeological museum, where you'll discover well-preserved artifacts that showcase the rich cultural heritage of this ancient city. It provides a deeper insight into Corinth's historical significance.

Next, venture to a local honey museum near Argos, where you'll sample unique varieties of honey and learn from passionate beekeepers about this ancient craft. The honey tasting will be a sweet, memorable highlight of your day. Continue to Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, a charming town with Venetian architecture and vibrant alleys. Stroll through its picturesque streets, then enjoy fresh Mediterranean seafood at a local tavern.

After lunch, unwind at Arvanitia Beach, where emerald waters and breathtaking views of ancient forts create the perfect setting for relaxation. Swim, lounge, or simply enjoy the stunning surroundings. As your day draws to a close, return to Athens with unforgettable memories of history, culture, and nature. This is the perfect escape to discover the beauty of the Peloponnese—an experience you'll cherish long after you return.

In the winter months, we swap swimming for extra time in the charming city of Nafplio. Whether in winter or summer, with or without a swim, Nafplio remains one of Greece's most romantic and captivating destinations.
