Our starting point is Athens. The tour begins early in the morning and we head west. The first stop is made at the Corinth Canal, which is 6 kilometers long and connects the Corinthian Gulf to the Aegean Sea.

Ancient Corinth is our second stop. There you will be able to admire the Temple of Apollo, constructed in 540 BC. The remains of Ancient Corinth, as rebuilt by Julius Caesar in 44 BC, lie there, not very far from today’s modern city of Corinth.

Afterwards, we arrive at Mycenae. Its kingdom ruled anciently from 1600 to 1100 BC. The Mycenaean Acropolis is surrounded by the so-called “Cyclopean masonry”, which is 12 meters high! A little further down the hill, you can find the Treasury of Atreus, the best preserved prehistoric monument in Europe.

A 20 minute drive will take us to Nafplion, a wonderful town with an intense medieval atmosphere that also served as the first capital of the country. On the top of a cliff above the town, you can find the fortress of Palamidi. Near the port is where you’ll be able to enjoy your lunch, with a wonderful view of Bourtzi; Bourtzi is an islet close to Nafplion, on which stands a fortress, constructed there to protect the town from naval attacks.

Our drive continues through central Peloponnese (Tripoli, Megalopolis, Zacharo).

We’ll afterwards continue to Epidaurus, where we’ll visit the famous ancient theater with its symmetrical architecture and perfect acoustics.
