Option One
​Heartland Greece

Two days on the island of Aegina
A stop on the island of Poros
​Two days in Nafplio

Set off from Athens to the charming island of Aegina. Your ferry will whisk you away and deposit you right in the heart of the town. Your boutique hotel is located in the heart of a pistachio tree grove (that the island is known for) with sea views. 

In town there are residence artist galleries, quaint bars and a lively seaside restaurant scene. Take in the night as you sip some excellent Greek wine vintages seaside. We will have recommendations for excellent wine choices and traditional seaside tavernas that Aegina is known for.

On day two, you can explore the island top to bottom. 
Aegina has its share of history and you can take a leisurely drive up into the pine forest to see the temple to Aphaia, who's size rivals that of the Acropolis.
There are many beaches on the island and you can explore to your hearts' content.

Day Three- You will catch your ferry to the island of Poros. Here you can have a few hours to see Poros town and sip some cold coffee and afterwards have a delightful lunch.

A driver will be waiting in the afternoon to take you to Nafplio. If you would like, your driver can also take you to the Ancient theatre at Epidaurus famous for its stunning amphitheater (Ancient Greek plays are still being performed here and great singers, such as Maria Callas have sang here). 

You will arrive in the late afternoon in Nafplio, a stunning town, still retaining its neo-classical architecture. 

We have recommendations for dinning in one of our favorite places in all of Greece.
 
Take in the evening where you can see the real Greece unfold, in the town square. Watch as families get together to enjoy ice cream and share sweets. Afterwards all the exquisite shops will be open for shopping. 

​Finish the evening overlooking the sea with views to Argos and the Bourtzi Castle. 
Day Four-
Nafplio is surrounded by some of the most auspicious ruins that Greece has to offer. You can choose a day seeing the citadel at Mycenae, once home to king Agamemnon. You can also see the ruins at Nemea, where the University of California has been digging for archeological finds. We can also recommend a local winery for taste testing local wines that should not be missed.

We will get you a car rental for that day so you can explore at your leisure.

In the evening you will be back at your centrally located boutique hotel
