This was a customizable relaxed tour. Eirini did a great job explaining our options. We ended up spending more time at the winery- which was a great experience! The sea side town of Nafplio was beautiful. Seeing the country side along the ride (sheep, goats and small villages) was delightful. We highly recommend this tour and our guide- Eirini!

This was so wonderful and a great way to leave the city for a day! Monos was a fabulous driver and told us so much about the history of the area! The winery was excellent. The Corinth canal was also super cool to see! I would recommend!!

    Nafplio was a beautiful town, well worth the drive. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Greece and he was very adaptable when we decided to forego a winery to spend more time in Nafplio. Highly recommend this day trip!

    Great Private Tour to Nafplio and Nemea.

    Aaron_P, May 2026
    Our party of three adults took this private Mercedes tour and had a very enjoyable experience. The Highlights: The city of Nafplio and the wine tasting in Nemea were the clear highlights of the day for us. The Guide: Our driver, Manos, was informative and interesting throughout the trip. He was accommodating and made sure to tailor the itinerary to our specific requests. We recommend both this tour and Manos for a smooth and well-guided day trip.

    Manos is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. His car is also in very good condition and comfortable. Nafplio is an excellent side trip from Athens and the wine tasting experience is unique.

    Great guide and itinerary

    Macaira_K, Dec 2025
    Our guide Eirini was excellent. A native of Athina she knew the area quite well . She was relaxed and laid back and accommodated our personal timing . The sights she showed us were amazing it was a great itinerary . I would however recommend only having 3 adults or less participate as we were four and the backseat was crowded in her Mercedes .

    Perfect way to spend your last day in the Athens Greece area. Quiet town with a fantabulous sea front walk and wine tasting. A must do for all visitors.

    Manos was one of the best we have had the pleasure to tour us. He was educational, informative and super helpful. He was there for us and went out of his way to make sure we were pleased. The sites we visited and the winery as impressive.

    Enjoyed Trip

    James_G, Sep 2025
    Nice trip to Canal, winery and Nafplio. Wish we could have toured archeological museum and more of Nafplio but not enough time.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hello! Thank you for your review! Our tour doesn’t have any time limitations and you asked to return quicker! Although the archaeological museum of Nafplio is not in the itinerary, we drove you with a very big pleasure and without complaints from our side….the museum was closed! The very big profit of our tour is that the traveler can enjoy every spot without hesitation! Unfortunately the time limits were from your side

    Outstanding service and tour with Giorgos !

    Caroline_P, Sep 2025
    Giorgos Kalantzis was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was prompt picking us up at our hotel in his E class Mercedes; clean and comfortable. We traveled to all our destinations with ease, accompanied by kind conversation and an historical overview of the sites and highlights along the way. Giorgos went above and beyond to ensure our comfort , safety and answered all our questions with great enthusiasm. Many thanks again! Looking forward to more private tours and travels around Greece with Giorgos! Would highly recommend!

    An excellent day with Eirini! The winery was perfect and the history Eirini shared during our travels was great.

    Great day outside of Athens

    Kelly_L, Aug 2025
    We had a great day with Eirini! She was a great tour guide and easy conversationist answering all of our many questions. The wine tasting experience at Ktima Bairaktaris was great and we loved Nafplio!

    Great day of wine tasting and Nefplio

    Michael_A, Jul 2025
    Of guid for the day was Manos. What a great person. Extremely knowledgeable about Greek History, the wine region and just about everything about Greece.

    Highly recommended day trip from Athens! Including a stop at a beautiful winery and seaside town. Reliable tour guide!

    Amy_M, Jun 2025
    Wonderful relaxing day outside of Athens. Amazing tour guide Manos taught us a lot of Athenian history on our drive to the impressive Corinth Canal and beyond. Visited the most beautiful winery and sampled 6 local wines (local cheese and crackers included with the tasting!) final stop was in the lovely seaside town of Nafplio for a delicious lunch and stroll through the adorable town. Highly recommend this relaxing full day tour that is truly at your own pace. Manos’ car is comfortable and he truly makes the day special with interactive conversation but also quiet time when needed.

    Very relaxing tour with...

    Very relaxing tour with plenty of scenery and visits to coastal town and winery. Our guide, Eirene, was so much fun and had a wonderful laugh and sense of humor. She was also very knowledgeable about places we passed and visited.

    Maribeth_A, May 2025
    This is a wonderful, relaxing day outside of the bustling city of Athens. The canal is beautiful, and the winery is simply gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed Nafplio. They had a yacht show that day; we sat at a restaurant right across from them and had an excellent lunch. Afterward, we wandered the winding streets full of shops and vendors. Our guide let us nap on the way home! Delightful!

    Thank you for your review Sir!

    Don’t hesitate….book the excursion!

    Lisa_S, Apr 2025
    Eirini was a wonderful guide. She arrived right on time, was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was a wonderful day trip! We saw another beautiful part of Greece and learned a lot of interesting information from Eirini. The car was a very comfortable way to travel. We could sit back and enjoy the views. She provided us with waters and had a great plan for the day. This is a wonderful itinerary and would be great during any part of your trip. We enjoyed seeing the Corinth Canal and the surrounding countryside. The Semelí Winery is outstanding and easily the most beautiful winery we have ever visited. The surrounding countryside is so incredibly beautiful that it almost looks fake! The wine is delicious and Maria was an excellent guide during our time there. We loved our time at the fortress and in Nafplio as well. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! Thank you Eirini!

    Really nice experience....

    Liana_V, Apr 2025

    Capturing the sites outside of Athens

    Kimberly_D, Feb 2025
    What a great way to explore Greece outside of Athens! Despite a rainy day, Eirini was a wonderful guide taking us through our journey culminating in a stop at Semeli Winery. Wonderful experience on par with the best of Napa and Sonoma. Eirini was so great we ended up booking a second tour!

    Napflio, Corinth Canal & Wine Tasting

    This is an excellent overview in a 1-day trip outside Athens. Pickup and drop off from hotel was extremely convenient. Was glad for a polite, positive, and knowledgeable guide and driver. Very experienced.

    Lesli_F, Jan 2025
    This was such a wonderful break from 3 days of visiting ruins! Irene met us at the port right on time. The marvel of the Corinth Canal has to be seen to be appreciated it was dug by hand/dynamite. Wish we could have had more time at the winery to drink a glass other than just the tasting, but understood the time frame given . The Palamidi fortress is amazing and so huge! Got great photos there. The town of Nafplio is lovely. We wondered all the little streets and ate on the square. The waiter gave us cookies his mom had made that morning! Overall, recommend this tour a great deal!

    Amazing guide makes all the difference, Cornith Canal

    Ashley_C, Dec 2024
    This was an amazing experience because of our guides careful consideration. She customized our trip based on our preferences, and we got to see some amazing sights. Irene is friendly and we appreciate her.

    A relaxing tour away from the crowds

    Mark_S, Oct 2024
    This was one of our favorite tours during our trip to Greece this September. Nafplio is about two hours away from Athens. As such, we weren't crushed by tourists as we were at the Acropolis, or in Santorini or Mykonos. We explored the beautiful old Greek capital at our own leisure and enjoyed a delicious authentic Greek lunch (that's not included in the price so you can choose what dishes you want). Afterwards, we explored the ruins of an old Venetian fortress that overlooks the city (entrance fee was 8 euros). Be warned, like most attractions in Greece, you'll need the sure-footedness of a mountain goat. But the climb was worth the view. On the way to Nafplio we stopped at the Corinth Canal. This is not an ancient engineering marvel, but it gave everyone a restroom break and a reason for detailed explanation of the area's biblical history by our guide. Paul's letters to the Corinthians were addressed to the people that lived here. After this quick stop, we headed to the Nemea region, which is the largest wine-growing area in southern Greece. We had a detailed tour of the Semeli Estate and its wine-making operation. And for 19 euros per person, we sampled four different (very good) wines (and cheese) at this very classy winery. There is a more expensive tasting package that includes more wines, but as this was before lunch, we thought we go easy on the fruit of the vine. Our guide was Manos Grizas, who planned this packaged tour, was driving his Mercedes (yes, it's a yellow taxi but it's a very comfortable, roomy Mercedes) and treated us like distant American family visiting Greece for the first time (which we were). In fact, when one of our party discovered afterwards at the hotel that his cell phone had fallen out of his pocket in the car, a WhatsApp text to Manos was almost instantly answered by a phone call, even though he was on his way home at 7 pm. I cannot recommend this tour (and the guide) enough.

    Relaxing and interesting day!

    DeroyH, Sep 2024
    Our guide Eirini was very nice and knowledgeable of everything about Greece and the area. All of the stops - Corinth canal, the vineyard, the fortress, and Nafplio - were excellent and a nice change of pace from other sites. The vineyards people, facility, and wine tasting was especially enjoyable. The Mercedes vehicle was very comfortable. Overall, a relaxing and interesting day! Highly recommend!

    A Worthwhile Trip!

    Nikola_Y, Aug 2024
    Irene was great! Naturally, in seeing so much of grease, you spend a lot of time in the car – but with Irene, she made the journey so enjoyable. We talked about the history of Greece, the unique aspects of each region, and even Greek culture. A really cool way to learn more and see more of Greece. The winery was absolutely beautiful.

    Nafplio, you stole my heart! <3

    juan_p, Jul 2024
    You’re in good hands with Manos! His descriptions and explanations of what you’re about to experience really ties everything together. Manos is also super accommodating to any reasonable request. I’m no sommelier, but those wines were bomb af! I was in awe standing over the canal. Wow!!
