Overview

Are you heading to Hydra Island from Athens? Have you considered skipping the boat from the port of Athens and making a road trip past some amazing locations?
The drive will start with a stop at the Corinth Canal and then continue to the famous (UNESCO) sites of Mycenae, Nafplio Old Town & port, and the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus U can optionally add Ancient Corinth. Finally, it will be just a short & fun boat ride to Hydra Island from Ermioni village!
This "transfer" is one of the most popular tours that both locals & tourists will do from Athens so that they see these famous sites and enjoy Nafplio town, the Old Town, and Palamidi Fortress with the 999 steps. Ermioni village [a great extra!] is also a very popular location mostly for the Greeks which should be food for thought!
Why this tour?
☼ Easy, pleasant drive with NUMEROUS stops at beautiful locations.
☼ Great food and drink.
☼ We are locals and have a personal connection with each location!
☼ It's a great experience!!!
