16 day itinerary – a spring journey through the Peloponnese and Saronic Islands—Kardamyli in the Mani, Easter celebrations in Tyros, the elegance of Nafplio, the charm of Poros, pistachio-scented Aegina, a day trip to Agistri, and finishing in Athens.

Note: This trip took place in April 2017; prices and some services may have changed.
