The towns near Olympia are not that interesting and it is 2.5 hours drive or taxi ride from Nafplion. I also have been to Olympia but-unless your group is obsessed with seeing it- I would drop it. Mycenae is interesting as an archaeological site and I recommend it. Mycenae is 45 bus minutes from Nafplion on the way back to Athens. Nafplion is about 2 hours by bus or car from Athens. You can also ferry back to Piraeus, Athens’ Port, in 3-5 hours but flights are about the same price as ferries if you book them now. I would drop Crete as it’s the outlier and a time sink in relation to transport to the other islands.įly back to Athens from Naxos in 40 minutes. You can then move on to Naxos by ferry or catamaran in 30-60minutes for several nights. After your 3 nights in Santorini, ⛴ ferry 2-2.5 hours to Paros for a few nights. To maximize time, I would ✈️ fly the 1-hr flight to Santorini immediately upon arriving in Athens. Until you’ve seen all that Athens offers, it makes little sense to cut it short to go see other remote sites. Give yourself extra time in Athens so you can see these incredible monuments. The Acropolis and the Parthenon, the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, the Roman Agora, the National Archaeological Museum, the Plaka, The Temple of Olympian Zeus. I would make it three nights in Athens so you have time to see Being in Athens the night before your return flight home is mandatory. That’s 2 nights in each one plus two floating nights. Traveling with four people in your group makes going to too many destinations even more problematic. I think you are trying to see as much as you possibly can and it’s starting to cram in too much for 2 weeks.
