This private transfer picks you up from wherever you're staying in Nafplio (a hotel, an apartment, a friend's house), and drops you off at your Athens destination, whether that's your accommodation, a metro station or a specific neighborhood. The route covers 150 km and runs about 1.5 hours without stops.

Midway through the drive, you pass the Corinth Canal, and the driver can pull over for photos if you want them. The vehicle is air-conditioned and has WiFi on board.
