Discovering Mykines: A Spring Equinox Journey

As the sun rises over Mykines on March 22, 2025, the air is filled with the promise of a day rich in history and exploration. The Spring Equinox, a time when day and night are in perfect balance, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the ancient wonders of this Greek region. With the weather being partly cloudy and temperatures ranging from a comfortable 42.2°F to 64.8°F, it’s an ideal day for outdoor activities. The UV index is high, so don’t forget your sunscreen as you embark on a journey through time.

Start your day with a Peloponnese Exploration tour, available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This tour takes you through the awe-inspiring Corinth Canal, the historical ruins of Ancient Corinth, and the Royal Arch-style Tombs and Lion’s Gate in Mycenae. As you wander through these ancient sites, imagine the bustling agora of Corinth and the regal processions that once passed through Mycenae’s gates. The tour also includes a visit to the charming city of Nafplio, where you can enjoy the captivating scenery of the Peloponnese Peninsula. One recent review from November 2024 highlights the flexibility of the tour, allowing for personalized stops and extended visits to places like New Corinth and Nafplio.

A day well spent in the Peloponnese - We did not want to visit any archaeological sites so we had a longer stop in New Corinth and we had more time hiking to the top of the Acrocorinth. We also extended the tour to 10 hours to have more time in Nafplio. It was a lovely day trip with Theodore who was very friendly and knowledgeable. (Reviewed at: 2024-11-13)

Consider embarking on a Full Day Private Tour from Athens, available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This tour offers a comprehensive journey through the historic gems of the Peloponnese peninsula, including Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, and the scenic town of Nafplio. The tour provides private transportation, bottled water, and the option for a traditional Greek lunch, ensuring a comfortable and enriching experience. A review from January 2025 praises the luxurious feel of the tour, highlighting the flexibility and personalized attention provided by the driver.

Luxurious and Fun! - Michael was our driver, one of the best drivers I’ve ever been in a vehicle with, and he was an excellent, excellent chauffeur. We were picked up at our doorstep and taken right back there again after our 10-hour long tour. The list of stops for this tour: Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Nafplio, does not tell the whole story of our tour at all. (Reviewed at: 2025-01-03)
