Possible day trips from Kineta

Hi, We’re heading to Greece in early October and will be staying in Kineta, north of the Saronic Gulf, and renting a car. Is it feasible to visit Acrocorinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, and Epidaurus in a single day? Thanks for your recommendations!

Hi there

I think that’s really a lot for a single day. I just checked my photos—we spent 2 hours in Nafplio, 2 hours in Epidaurus, and 3 hours in Mycenae (not on the same days, and we didn’t visit Acrocorinth). We took our time but didn’t study everything in minute detail.

If you leave early and get back late, I guess it’s doable, but personally, I wouldn’t do it.

Hi Evelyne,

Like Muriel, I wouldn’t do it either. It’s way too much for a single day. Even if you leave really early in the morning and arrive at the sites by 8 AM when they open, it’ll still be way too rushed. Drop Acrocorinth at least. If you do Nafplio, Mycenae, and Epidaurus, it’ll be a whirlwind—eating on the go without even sitting down.
