Travelers assemble at an Athens meeting point before heading southwest to the legendary home of King Agamemnon. The itinerary covers ancient archaeological sites in Mycenae, a walking tour in the seaside town of Nauplia, and the ancient theatre at Epidaurus.
The total duration of this archaeological day trip is 10 hours. This full-day schedule allows ample opportunity to discover Mycenae, take a brief walking tour through the seaport of Nauplia, and examine the ancient theatre of Epidaurus. Setting aside an entire day is recommended to experience all three historic destinations thoroughly.
Morning starts are best suited for this tour to complete the full 10-hour itinerary comfortably.

Allocating a full day ensures you experience each scheduled stop, including the walking tour in Nauplia.
