Overview

A fully private day through the wonders of the Argolis in a Tesla Model 3 (1-4 guests) or a luxury van (5-8 guests), reserved just for your group from the moment we leave Athens to the moment we return. Your host is an Athens local with a lifelong passion for Greek history, who brings each site to life and adjusts the day to what genuinely interests you.

The day begins at the Corinth Canal, then continues to the citadel of Mycenae, the seaside town of Nafplio, one of the most beautiful in Greece, and the remarkably preserved theatre of Epidaurus.
