Private Day Trip to Nafplio from Athens
Explore the Peloponnese at your own pace — from the Corinth Canal to the vineyards of Nemea and the romantic streets of Nafplio
This private day trip to Nafplio from Athens takes you deep into the Peloponnese, one of Greece's most historically layered and visually striking regions. Traveling exclusively with your own guide, you enjoy flexibility and personal attention throughout the entire journey.
The route winds through landscapes tied to ancient myths, passing the famous Corinth Canal before reaching the wine country of Nemea. A visit to a contemporary winery introduces you to native grape varieties that have shaped Greek viticulture for centuries.
The day concludes in Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece. Venetian fortresses, cobblestone lanes, and sweeping Argolic Gulf views make this coastal town one of the most rewarding stops on any Greek itinerary.

This tour operates from Athens, Greece, and travels into the Peloponnese peninsula — a region of southern Greece bordered by the Corinthian and Argolic gulfs. Key stops include the Corinth Canal (Isthmus of Corinth), the wine appellation zone of Nemea in the Corinthia regional unit, the Argos plain, and the coastal town of Nafplio in the Argolis prefecture. Nafplio served as the first capital of modern Greece and is located approximately 140 km southwest of Athens. The Nemea wine region sits at elevations between 250 and 900 meters, producing internationally recognized red wines from the native Agiorgitiko grape. The Corinth Canal, completed in 1893, connects the Saronic Gulf to the Gulf of Corinth and marks the geographic entry point to the Peloponnese.
