All the Experiences: Culture, Food, Drink, Views and Blending In

It’s a real food & drink experience tour combined with sightseeing. For those of you who do not want to just see the “ruins”, we have selected the best local family-owned businesses with personalized and friendly service to taste and experience Greek cuisine. It’s about creating more meaningful moments based on your preferences.
The food experience can include the following:
☼ option of a Greek coffee stop
☼ 12-noon Ouzo (with the necessary snacks) the way Greeks do it
☼ wine tasting (optional)
☼ great lunch and drinks
☼ ouzo tasting at a local distillery

To join together these multiple culinary experiences, we have selected (fully flexible again) some great sites & locations.
☼ Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth
☼ Nafplio old town and port
☼ Palamidi Fortress & the 999 steps
☼ Ancient Theater of Epidaurus
Several more options or alternatives are available: Acropolis of Corinth, Ancient Nemea, and Mycenae. After you book, let us know if you need customization and what you enjoy most!

We start from your Athens hotel/accommodation and optionally from the airport, the port of Athens (Piraeus), or any other location near Athens or Nafplio, or Hydra island.
The itinerary is flexible and the sites, the stops, and the culinary options are fully adjustable depending on your personal preferences to be discussed and decided after your booking.

Our first stop, the Corinth Canal, connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.

By crossing the Corinth canal we shall be entering the Mythical Peloponnese. Probably the best region of Greece that combines everything you need to make you feel Greek. The region is limitless in terms of locations of interest: culture, landscape, mountains, coastline, beaches, islands, food, drink, wineries, and attractions like caves and old railways.
At the same time, the Peloponnese can offer you a real food experience.

GREEK COFFEE STOP? Nafplio is one of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (Eastern Peloponnese) as well as one of the most romantic cities all over Greece. We start with a Greek coffee at the main square of Nafplio right in the center of the Old Town. This is the most popular area of Nafplio next to the port.
Then, we explore all the great spots of the Old Town and the port before heading for the Palamidi fortress.

OPTION: Walk down the 999 steps and enjoy the amazing views of the Nafplio Old Town, port, and surrounding water.
After this, it will be the perfect time to try Ouzo with pre-lunch snacks where the locals gather and people-watch.

LUNCH WITH THE LOCALS: A special location that tourists will not know and where the service, the owners, the food quality, and the atmosphere are “Greek”. Multiple dishes for you to taste real Greek cuisine accompanied by beer or wine or any other soft drink.

Our final site to visit is the theatre of Epidaurus (built in 330-20 BC). It represents the finest and best-preserved example of classical Greek theatre. Even by today’s standards, this monument stands out as a unique artistic achievement through its admirable integration into the landscape and above all the perfection of its proportions and incomparable acoustics.
We head to Athens following a different return route along the coastline almost 90% of the time.

OPTIONAL: Wine-tasting visit to one of the many wineries in the region of the tour. The Nemea area of the Peloponnese is the most famous wine region of Greece. Approximate pricing at 13-20 EUR/person for a tasting of 5 labels.

OPTION/ALTERNATIVE (to choose between Mycenae and Epidaurus): Mycenae is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home of King Agamemnon and the Mycenean civilization with some of Greece’s most famous ancient ruins. Wander around the archaeological site and accompanying museum.

OPTION/ALTERNATIVE (to choose between Mycenae and Corinth): Ancient Corinth was inhabited in the Neolithic period (6500-3250 BC) but the big prosperity begins in the 8th century.
Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus (canal) of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta.

OPTION: OUZO distillery. A family-run business that has been continually operational for the last 145 years producing Ouzo, Tsipouro, and Masticha all distilled in modern copper stills.
