A Greek Classic This tour was designed for a group of adults wishing to combine the pleasures of a Greek island cruise with an introduction to some of the Classical sights of Greece as well as Ephesus. We find Nauplion one of the most delightful towns to visit, and stay in all of the Mediterranean, so we could not resist including two nights there. We have left a little free time here and there so, if you prefer, we could include visits to Argos or Tiryns without lengthening the duration. When there is a production on, we can include tickets to a performance in the ancient amphitheatre in Epidaurus. You have to read the play in English before you go as, of course, the play is in Greek, but it is a stunning experience. Photo: Delphi |
