- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is an engineering marvel and a natural wonder, linking the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea by cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth in Greece. This 6.4-kilometer-long canal, completed in 1893, allows ships to avoid the long journey around the Peloponnese Peninsula, saving both time and fuel. With its steep limestone walls rising up to 79 meters high and a width of just about 25 meters at its narrowest point, the canal offers a breathtaking visual experience for visitors. From the bridges above, one can watch boats skillfully navigate the narrow passage, almost brushing against the towering rock walls on either side. For those seeking adventure, the canal even provides bungee jumping, offering a thrilling way to appreciate its height and depth. Situated near ancient Corinth and easily accessible from Athens, the Corinth Canal is a favored stop on many Greek tours, combining history, adventure, and scenic beauty in one memorable location.
- Archaeological Site Mycenae - Mycenae, one of the most significant archaeological sites of ancient Greece, invites visitors to explore the heart of Mycenaean civilization. Perched on a hilltop in the Peloponnese, this legendary city dates back to the second millennium BCE and is rich with the tales of Homer’s epics. Mycenae was once a powerful kingdom, and its ruins still echo its grand past. The iconic Lion Gate, adorned with two sculpted lions, marks the entrance to the fortified city and stands as one of the earliest examples of monumental sculpture in Europe. Inside, visitors can discover the ruins of royal palaces, defensive walls, and the impressive tholos tombs, such as the Treasury of Atreus, thought to be the tomb of Agamemnon. Guests can explore the remnants of this once-vibrant center of art, trade, and culture while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Mycenae’s archaeological museum enhances the experience, displaying artifacts that highlight the sophistication and wealth of this ancient civilization.
- Nafplio - Nafplio, a delightful coastal town in the Peloponnese, is a treasure of Greek history and beauty. Known as Greece’s first capital after gaining independence, Nafplio features a captivating mix of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek influences. Its old town is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with neoclassical mansions, colorful bougainvillea, and welcoming cafes. Overlooking the town is the majestic Palamidi Fortress, perched high on a hill with 999 steps leading up to it, offering visitors panoramic views of the Argolic Gulf. The waterfront is adorned with seafood tavernas, and a picturesque promenade leads to Bourtzi, a small island fortress that appears to float on the turquoise sea. Nafplio provides a relaxing experience with numerous attractions for history enthusiasts, including the Acronafplia fortress and local museums. Close to other ancient sites like Mycenae and Epidaurus, Nafplio is the perfect blend of rich heritage, seaside charm, and stunning vistas, making it a must-visit on any Greek itinerary.
