    Travel by private car to Nafplio, a scenic coastal town in the Peloponnese, known for its Venetian architecture and rich history. Check into a boutique hotel housed in a restored mansion, just steps from the seafront and the Archaeological Museum.

    During your stay, visit nearby landmarks including the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Bourtzi Castle and the Archaeological Site of Mycenae. With a private guide, explore how each site reveals a different chapter of Greece’s ancient past – from mythology and medicine to art and empire.

    When you’re ready to explore, board a private yacht for the short journey to Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological locations in Greece. Walk through ancient streets, temples and sanctuaries dedicated to Apollo and Artemis, guided by an expert who will share the stories behind the island’s monuments.

    Return to Mykonos for your final evening, dining along the harbour and reflecting on your journey through the heart of ancient Greece.
