Hike the Castle of Acrocorinth, Nafplio

5.0 (1 review)
Hike to the top of Acrocorinth, one of the biggest castles in Greece on this full-day private guided tour.

Overview

Hike to the top of Acrocorinth, one of the biggest castles in Greece on this full-day private guided tour. This moderate trek takes you past unique natural springs to incredible views of the sea and surrounding countryside. Along the way, your local guide will share interesting stories about the area's history, geology, and cultural significance, including its "hidden" path to Penteskoufi, the very top of the fortress.

You'll follow natural routes through the hillside and up rocky terrain, passing under several defense gates. The castle's location is not only cultural but also strategic. At the top, you will see the castle ruins scattered around the hill with a scenic mountainous backdrop. You'll find old, preserved walls and remnants of temples, theaters, and more. If you can make it to the very top (the trail is quite steep), it's worth the effort, as the views are spectacular!

After the hiking you will enjoy a full lunch by the sea!

Depending on your accommodation, and your travel specialist’s advice, a private transfer to the site can be arranged.

One of our best days of the trip! Outstanding guide Niko, who provided not just a great hike to the castle as well as the fortress, but also extremely knowledgeable and open about life and current events and challenges in Greece, which was especially fascinating. The day ended with a fantastic luncheon at a seaside taverna, one of the other best meals of our trip. Read more
