Overview

If you have time for one historical side trip from Athens or Nafplio, this private and convenient full-day tour to Mystras is ideal. Journey through the Peloponnese to UNESCO-listed Mystras, whose semi-crumbled frescoed churches and mansions were once a Byzantine power center. Explore the ruins independently before choosing to visit nearby Sparta’s archaeological ruins or olive oil museum, and perhaps selecting an alternative coast-road return route. Lunch plus Athens and Nafplio pickup and drop-off included.
