Private Day Trips in Athens

Dig deep into the archaeological heritage of ancient Greece with a private, full-day tour to four of the country's most important historic sites. Departing from Athens, travel in a private vehicle through the scenic Peloponnesian countryside, stopping to visit Corinth and its strategically important canal, the ancient city of Mycinae, coastal Nafplio and the UNESCO-listed Theatre of Epidaurus and Sanctuary of Asklepios. Enjoy the flexibility of a private tour and personalized attention from a knowledgeable, English-speaking guide.

Discover the ancient legends and Mediterranean beauty of Corinth on a private, full-day tour from Athens or Nafplio. Cross the Corinth Canal to enter the Peloponnese, and drive through an area rich with vineyards and olive groves to reach the mythical underground Cave of Lakes. Ride the historic Odontotos Rack Railway, visit your choice of either Ancient Corinth or the Mega Spilaio Monastery, and enjoy a traditional Greek 'meze' lunch in a mountain village, all with the care of a dedicated guide and in the comfort of a private vehicle.

Rewind to classical Greece on a private day trip to ancient Corinth and Nafplio from Athens. Cross the Corinth Canal to the ruins of Greco-Roman Corinth, a powerful city-state in antiquity. Tour the streets and monuments independently, and perhaps climb the Acrocorinth rock to see its crumbled temple. Lastly, enjoy free time in the seaport of Nafplio for lunch and sightseeing. Customizable itinerary, private transport, and Athens hotel or port pickup and drop-off included.

Don't miss a visit to one of the most captivating historical sites in Greece on a private, full-day tour to Delphi. Travel up the slopes of majestic Mt Parnassus to the UNESCO-listed archaeological site that dates back at least 3,500 years and was considered to be the center of the world in ancient Greek mythology. Learn about the mysterious Oracle of Delphi and the Pythian games, and marvel at sacred artifacts housed in an on-site museum. Afterwards, stop for lunch and soak up spectacular views in the nearby mountain town of Arachova.

Visiting ancient Delphi independently in a day from Athens means hiring a car or using public buses and also leaving yourself without a guide once you're there. Give these hassles a miss with a private day trip that includes transport and guiding. Travel by private air-conditioned vehicle, enjoy guided strolls around the ruins and Delphi Museum for added insight, and take a break at a seaside village on your return.
