During our tour we will visit:
Corinth Canal
An awe-inspiring 19th-century engineering feat that connects the Ionian Sea to the Aegean Sea. Although narrow by modern standards, the Corinth Canal remains a dramatic and photogenic landmark cut through solid rock.
Ancient Corinth
Once a powerful city-state, Corinth was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC, only to be rebuilt by Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Today, you can explore its extensive ruins and uncover layers of Greek and Roman history that shaped the ancient Mediterranean world.
Mycenae
Step into Homeric legend at the archaeological site of Mycenae, a fortified citadel that dates back to the 14th century BC. Walk through the Lion’s Gate, visit the royal tombs, and feel the aura of the ancient Mycenaean civilization that inspired myths and epics.
Epidaurus (Epidavros)
One of the most important healing centers of the ancient world and home to the famous Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, celebrated for its perfect acoustics and symmetry. The sanctuary of Asclepius, god of medicine, offers insight into ancient Greek spirituality and science. A must-see for lovers of both architecture and mythology.
Nafplio
Enjoy free time for lunch, a seaside stroll, or a bit of shopping in Greece’s most romantic town. With its Venetian architecture, cobblestone alleys, boutique shops, and stunning sea views, Nafplio offers a perfect blend of relaxation and cultural exploration.
Palamidi Fortress
Towering above Nafplio, this Venetian fortress rewards those who climb its thousand steps with breathtaking panoramic views. Built between 1711–1714, Palamidi is an impressive example of military architecture and an iconic landmark of the town.
Acronauplia
The oldest part of Nafplio, once a medieval stronghold. Wander through this historical district with its ancient fortifications, offering a peaceful retreat above the town and views over the Argolic Gulf.
Bourtzi
A picturesque Venetian castle nestled on a small islet in the harbor of Nafplio. Originally built to defend against pirate invasions, Bourtzi later became the residence of the executioner of Palamidi prison. Today, it stands as a romantic symbol of the town’s maritime past.
