• Isthmus of Corinth - The Isthmus of Corinth is a slender land bridge linking Central Greece with the Peloponnese. The canal carved through it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning approximately 6 kilometers, its narrowest section is where the Corinth Canal was constructed (1880-1893). Historically strategic, a wall was erected here in ancient times (end of the 5th century BC) and remained until the Byzantine era (Hexamilion).
• Archaeological Site Mycenae - A major hub of Greek culture, Mycenae was a formidable military stronghold that once dominated much of Southern Greece (UNESCO World Heritage Site). “Polychryses Mycenae,” the realm of the legendary Agamemnon, first celebrated by Homer, is the most significant and affluent palatial center of Greece’s Late Bronze Age. The Mycenaean civilization, named after this site, is renowned for its myths, which have been immortalized in Homeric epics and classical tragedies, continuing to inspire global art and intellectual pursuits.
• “Treasury of Atreus” or “Tomb of Agamemnon” - The Atreus tomb, a grand vaulted structure, is situated on the western slope of Panagitsa ridge, southwest of Mycenae’s acropolis, along the route to Heraion of Argos. It is among the largest and most exquisite Mycenaean tombs, dating from 1350 to 1250 BC.
• Lion Gate - The Lion Gate is the modern name for the main entrance of Mycenae’s Bronze Age citadel in southern Greece. Constructed in the thirteenth century BC, around 1250 BC, it is located on the acropolis’s northwestern side. Its name derives from the relief sculpture of two lionesses in a heraldic pose above the entrance.
• Nafplio - The tour proceeds to Nafplio, one of Greece’s most enchanting and romantic towns. Visitors can wander through its delightful old town, admire the elegant Venetian architecture, and enjoy free time exploring the charming streets, seaside promenade, and local cafés. This full-day adventure beautifully blends history, culture, and scenic beauty, offering an unforgettable escape from Athens.
• Bourtzi - Bourtzi is a castle on the islet of Agios Theodoros in the middle of Nafplio’s port, about 400 meters from the pier. The name “Bourtzi,” from Turkish-Arabic, means “island-fortress,” and it is a symbol of Nafplio along with the Palamidi castle. Originally called “Castello dello soglio” by the Venetians, the port was known as “Porto di cadena” due to a chain that secured it nightly. The Turks later added an underwater stone barrier, the “porpela,” to prevent large ships from approaching. Visitors can reach Bourtzi via small boats from Nafplion’s port, a 10-minute journey with 20 minutes to explore. Tickets cost 4€.
• Palamidi Castle - Palamidi is a fortress east of Acronauplia in Nafplio, Peloponnese, southern Greece. Perched on a 216-meter high hill, it was built by the Venetians during their second occupation (1686–1715). Despite its ambitious scale, the fortress was completed swiftly between 1711 and 1714. It is a classic baroque fortress designed by Venetian engineer Antonio Giancix and constructed by French military engineer Pierre de la Salle. Captured by the Ottomans in 1715, it remained under their control until the Greeks seized it in 1822.
• Epidaurus Archaeological Museum - The Archaeological Museum of the Asclepieion of Epidaurus is housed in a beautiful Venetian building. It chronicles the social evolution of Argolis, from ancient hunter-gatherers to modern times. The museum displays artifacts from nearby sites, including the impressive ruins of a vast theater still in use today. This ancient engineering marvel can accommodate up to 14,000 people and is famed for its nearly perfect acoustics.
• The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The Theater of Asclepius of Epidaurus, built on Mount Kynorti’s western side at the Classical era’s end, is a remarkable monument. It is the most renowned ancient Greek Theatre, celebrated for its elegance and perfect acoustics. According to Pausanias, it was crafted by Polykleitos (the Younger), who also designed the Dome in the same sanctuary.
• Temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus - The sanctuary of Asclepius in Epidaurus was the largest ancient healing center. The processional road led to the god’s Temple, the Dome, a circular building of classical elegance where patients encountered the god in their dreams. Nearby are large buildings for gatherings after sacrifices and a hostel for patients and attendants. At the sanctuary’s southern end, the famous ancient theater, celebrated for its beauty and harmony, is the best-preserved ancient theater today, hosting modern performances. Recent restorations have made the sanctuary’s form and function accessible even to non-experts.
