3.Ancient Corinth & Nafplio Full Day Trip with Swim

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 523 reviews · from $44

Leave Athens by air-conditioned bus for Ancient Corinth and Nafplio. An English-speaking archaeologist guide, such as Apostolos, Vivian, or Chrysa, brings the sites to life, while free time covers lunch, local shops, and a summer swim at Arvanitia Beach.

“Enjoyed very much. Chryssa was a very informative and excellent guide. It was very hot, so recommend not in height of summer. Also lots of uneven steps and walking uphill, so only if you are fit and healthy! Epidaurus was magnificent, Nafplio very pretty indeed. Swimming there required walk up a hill and down and would be good to have swim shoes as pebble, but pretty! Fort was fascinating. Again, very hot so need lots of water, sunscreen hat and swimmers. Was excellent meeting bus via metro as was very easy and didn't get stuck in traffic.”
