A very beautiful and picturesque settlement, Nafplio is located in the southwest side of the Peloponnese and is famous for being the first capital of Modern Greece. The city has actually a very long recorded history, since it's first mentioned in a funerary inscription of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III of Egypt, almost 3300 years ago. Nowadays, it's a popular tourist destination, famous for its narrow alleys and its Venetian castle, called Palamidi that dominates its skyline. It's also associated to some of the darkest moments of Modern Greek history. It was here that the first governor of modern Greece, John Kapodistrias, was assassinated and it was also here where Theodoros Kolokotronis, the leader of the Greeks during the Greek war of independence, was incarcerated. As a friendly and easy going person, who is specialized in modern Greek history, this tour is ideal for me in order to transmit you my knowledge of the region!

Nafplio Half Day City Tour

Hike the Traditional Town of Poros Half-Day Adventure

Poros old town is marvellous example of an island architecture that captures the most demanding visitor. As a child I was used to play and run round the little alleys through the beautiful white yards of the traditional houses of the island. The smells of basils , wild flowers and little lemon trees have engrave in my memory since childhood. The view from the clock tower of Poros town accompanied me as a teenager when I wanted to escape from everyone. The old town was built like this in order to be hidden from pirates but its wide open for you to discover and enjoy. That's the magical scenery we want to introduce you to. Our route will follow the 3 ridges of the main island (Agioi Anargiri, windmill and clock tower) , visit a traditional courtyard to enjoy a local fresh lemonade and descending to the old city of Poros for lunch in a traditional tavern and visit the small souvenir shops.

Explore the Highlights of Spetses with your local guide

On Spetses island, locals usually start their day in "Ntapia" area, having a coffee before going to work.
"Ntapia" or "horseshoe" -this is what locals call it due to its shape!- is the center of Spetses Island.

It used to be a meeting point for lords and captains during the period of the Greek Revolution of 1821.
Today it is the favorite place of locals and travelers.

It is also my favorite area to walk; no matter how many years I have had this habit, I am always enchanted by its simple beauty.

The most amazing thing is how much history can a small place can hide!

During this tour, we will:
Learn about local historical personalities and facts, such as:
-Laskarina Bouboulina and her role during the Greek War of Independence of 1821

A Dapia short stroll

Ancient Corinth & Kechries - Full Day Shore Excursion

Everyone will be enchanted by the landscapes, buildings, and beaches visited on this tour. This experience intends to be more than merely walking through monuments with monologues, but a day filled with emotions and a great cultural understanding of the history of the country: get acquainted with the soul of Greece and its rebirth through time.

I think it is wonderful to complement images with emotions, and that will be my goal for us in this tour as we travel to important sites of Corinth and Kechries. The Romans demolished Corinth on 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and made it the provincial capital of Greece.

For Christians, Corinth is well known from the 2 letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament. However, one does not need to be deeply religious or a Christian to be enchanted by a place where a person like St. Paul lived in and walked around for months.

Follow in the footsteps of the famous apostle St. Paul.

That is because Spetses is full of small magical gulfs!

My favorite part of this place is its big number of hidden beaches and the turquoise sea water.
The island is full of pine trees, even very close to the coasts(!) something very rare for Greece.

Mycenae, Epidaurus & Nafplio Full Day Tour

Walking between the walls of the ancient city of Mycenae, still standing proudly after so many centuries, you will be able to feel the agony and the struggle for survival of the ancient Greeks.

The sense of mysticism that we will have the chance to experience, while we are walking inside Epidaurus through the Tholos/Thymele, the Stoa of Abaton, the Katagogion, e. t. c. , are only some of the buildings that will fascinate us and you will imediately realise that they can be the reason of inspiration of a very atmospheric video game.

This trip will "open" for you a window into the past, but you will also have fun and see the modern lifestyle of the locals.
I thoroughly enjoy sharing with you the stories of the people who lived and built the palaces and tombs of their glorious kings in Mycenae, but at the same time I seek to convey to you the present day lifestyle of the locals of Nafplio.
