We will depart in the morning from Athens and cross over to Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal. The 'Suez of Greece' is a testament to engineering and well worth a photograph or two. We will continue driving through stunning Peloponnesian scenery to reach Mycenae, one of the major centers of ancient Greek civilization during the second millennium BCE. The Bronze Age citadel of the Archaeological Site contains the Tomb of Atreus, the iconic Lion Gate, of Tomb of Clytemnestra and the Cyclopean Walls. Once our guided tour to the site ends, we will stop for a traditional lunch.
The second part of tour aims to show you a more modern side of Greece with a visit to Naflpion, the country's first modern capital and arguably one of its most charming towns. Heavily influenced by Venetians, Nafplion is surrounded by fortresses like Palamidi, Akronafplia and of course Bourtzi - on a small islet just off the town's coast. A refuge for artists, Nafplion is full of galleries, sprouting on picturesque cul-de-sacs or cobble-stoned alleys. We will take a short walking tour but you will also have time to explore the town at your own pace. make sure to sample some gelato and make your way to Syntagma Square (not to be confused with the homonymous Athenian counterpart), located near the port. In the afternoon, we will hop back on our transport and take the same route back to Athens.

As we heave anchors, freshly brewed coffee, cakes, cookies, and juice will be served and you will have breakfast with a view of the sun illuminating the Greek coast which will slowly start to disappear from the horizon.
It won't be long until we reach Agistri, a charming island surrounded by turquoise waters, a perfect spot from swimming and snorkeling. If you don't wish to take advantage of our snorkeling equipment and spend this time in the water, you can always disembark and explore the port of Agistri on foot, or optionally rent a bicycle and discover hidden corners of the idyllic island. Before we depart from Agistri, it is recommended to take a tour of the local markets and pick up a memento or two for your friends back home!
Our next stop is the most exclusive for the day; the small island of Moni. A UNESCO-protected slice of heaven, Moni is an uninhabited island that serves as a refuge for wildlife. Since we cannot disembark there, we will dock off the coast and swim in crystal clear waters, snorkel among the vibrant marine life and soak in the sun as the boat gently sways us to a never-before experienced state of relaxation. After you've dried off we will enjoy a delicious Mediterranean buffet comprising of traditional flavors and created by fresh, local ingredients.
From the isolation of Moni we will move on to our most popular destination of the three; Aegina. Arguably the star of the Saronic Gulf, Aegina is now famous throughout Greece for its production of pistachios, but it has also held a prominent status in antiquity. A tour of the markets near the port will afford you the opportunity to purchase more types products made of pistachio that you even knew existed! Should you wish to explore the history of Aegina, both the Temple of Apollo and the Archaeological Museum can be found near the port, while if you are all about swimming, the sandy beach of Avra is at a walking distance from where we dock and great place for a quick dip!
After a fulfilling day in the Saronic, we will start heading back to Marina Zeas. Drink in hand, smell the salt in the air while enjoy the golden sun paint a beautiful scenery of the Athenian Riviera. What is more Greek than that?

Made out of two successive beaches, the Black beach lies on the southeast coast of the island and is laid with black volcanic sand. It's red counterpart, is located near the village of Akrotiri, on the southernmost part of the island, at the end of a steep downhill path.

Take a day to explore the ancient oracle of Delphi, a sacred place for all of ancient Greece, and one dubbed 'the navel of the world'. Starting from Athens, we will take the scenic route through the plains of Beotia before arriving near the charming town of Delphi, where the ruins of the Oracle still stand to this day. Although the main site the Temple of Apollo, the famous sanctuary that housed the oracle which was consulted before every major war campaign, there are other points of interest scattered through the complex. Various treasuries, such as the ones built by the Athenians and the Sifnians exist in the site and were erected to host the offering of city-states around Greece. The Altar of the Chians, Stoa of the Athenians and Roman Agora are worth your attention, as is of course the Stadium which housed the Pythian Games. Finally, you can't help but admire in awe the Ancient Theater which offers a spectacular view of the valley below the site.
After we leave the archaeological site, we will proceed to visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which is situated close by and is home to a cornucopia of exhibits discovered in the area. Important exhibits include the Cylix of Apollo, the Kouroi of Delphi and the Daedalic Figurine. However, undoubtedly the most famous one of all is the Charioteer, a bronze statue set up to commemorate the victories of Polyzalus of Gela. After we tour the museum we will have lunch in the town of Delphi and start our return to Athens. A quick stop to the picturesque village of Arachova will give you a chance to snap some beautiful pictures and even pick up some souvenirs for your friend back home.
