Stop at the Corinth Canal
Your first stop is the Corinth Canal, a remarkable man-made waterway that cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese Peninsula. Marvel at the steep rock walls and take in the view from the bridge above—it’s a perfect photo opportunity of this engineering masterpiece.
Discover the Legendary Mycenae
Continue to Mycenae, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece and a key center of Greek civilization during the Bronze Age. Walk through the imposing Lion Gate, explore the Cyclopean Walls, and visit the Treasury of Atreus (Tomb of Agamemnon), an impressive beehive tomb dating back to the 13th century BC. Mycenae was once the home of King Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek forces during the Trojan War, making it an essential stop for history lovers.
Explore the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus
Next, visit Epidaurus, home to the world-famous ancient theater, one of the best-preserved classical Greek theaters. Built in the 4th century BC, this stunning site is celebrated for its perfect acoustics, where even a whisper from the stage can be heard clearly in the top rows. Epidaurus was also an important religious site dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine, and served as a healing center in antiquity.
Stroll Through Nafplion – Greece’s First Capital
After exploring the archaeological wonders, head to Nafplion, one of the most picturesque seaside towns in Greece. Wander through its colorful alleys, admire its neoclassical buildings, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. You’ll have time to explore its charming streets, shop for handmade souvenirs, and savor a meal at a traditional taverna by the harbor, overlooking Bourtzi Castle—a Venetian fortress floating on the sea.
Optional Visit to Palamidi Fortress
For those who wish, you can optionally visit Palamidi Fortress, a Venetian-built stronghold towering above Nafplion. If you’re up for the challenge, climb the 999 steps to reach the top, or opt for an easier drive up. The fortress offers breathtaking panoramic views of Nafplion and the Argolic Gulf, making it a fantastic addition to your experience.
