Overview
Step into a world where myth meets history and ancient ruins give way to authentic village charm on this immersive full-day tour from the historic port town of Nafplion. Discover the grandeur of Mycenae, a cradle of European civilization, then unwind in the tranquil village of Kefalari, nestled in the lush Peloponnesian countryside.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through rolling hills and olive groves to the legendary site of Mycenae — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and once the powerful kingdom of King Agamemnon. Walk through the imposing Lion Gate, stand in awe before the Cyclopean Walls, and explore the Royal Tombs and the Treasury of Atreus, thought to be the final resting place of Agamemnon himself. Inside the Archaeological Museum, admire intricate pottery, gold jewelry, and everyday tools that bring the Mycenaean civilization vividly to life.
After stepping into the ancient past, continue your journey to Kefalari, a peaceful mountain village where nature and tradition blend effortlessly. Famous for its natural springs and dramatic Church of Agia Marina, built inside a cave, Kefalari invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Stroll through its shady village square, sip a traditional Greek coffee by the river, browse local products, or simply take in the authentic rhythm of rural life.
This tour offers a perfect blend of archaeological discovery and cultural immersion, revealing both the grandeur of ancient Mycenae and the living heritage of a traditional Greek village.
