Sabbycat Posted May 5 #1 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Good day, On an Az cruise this autumn and one of our stops is Nafplio. Thus far there are no excursions for this port advertised. I searched the Az site, and they only appear to stop in Nafplio once in 2024 and once in 2025. The website also indicates that in some ports of call they do not offer excursions. When we last sailed Az, pre-pandemic, and stopped in Nafplio there were ship sponsored excursions. Anyone experienced no excursions offered for Nafplio or a similar situation? (Oh and the roll-call is of no help as there are only two entries on it, both from January!) Thanks, Edited May 5 by Sabbycat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combine Posted May 5 #2 Share Posted May 5 Yes we were there with Azamara in Oct 2019. Did the ships tour to Epidaurus and Mycenae . Both excellent . Hard to believe nothing listed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted May 5 #3 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Epidaurus is definitely worth seeing, but Napflio itself is a lovely little town and nice to wander around. Edited May 5 by Grandma Cruising 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikan Posted May 5 #4 Share Posted May 5 If the ship is in port for 9 hours or so, there will surely be tours offered. And if not, I'd highly recommend finding a private or shared tour to experience the ancient wonder of Mycenae and Epidaurus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Huntingdon1701 Posted May 5 #5 Share Posted May 5 I'm glad someone asked. I think I'm on the same cruise as you, and was definitely wondering. All other ports have had excursions posted for a while. I emailed Azamara about it a couple of weeks back but they haven't responded. There are a few options on viator, but not terribly suited to the length of a cruise excursion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have many offerings and will customize as well. I also suggest asking for recommendations on the Ports of Call page for Greece. https://www.pktravelgreece.com/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all could not have been happier with our guide and excursion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbycat Posted 8 hours ago Author #8 Share Posted 8 hours ago We are less than four months from the sail date and still nothing for nafplio. I am starting to look for tours to Mycenae. Other than Viatour and Tours by Locals, what other places do ppl book tours through. @Huntingdon1701, perhaps if we find a tour you may want to join us? Let us know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know. It's disappointing there isn't anything. Four months is supposed to be the minimum - possibly they are busy rearranging the Suez Canal cruise shortly afterwards. I've been having a look at tours but most of them seem to start from Athens rather than Nafplio itself. I'd consider joining you, although I'm keen to also see the Corinth Canal. Haven't been able to work out if you can do both in the timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Huntingdon1701 Posted 8 hours ago #10 Share Posted 8 hours ago There is also a thread in the ports of call forum where someone has very helpfully posted taxi prices - At least that can act as a fallback option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
