  • Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

    1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Corinth was built on the northern foothills of Akrokorinthos which rises precipitously above the old city. The strategic value of its position, the two harbors on both gulfs-Lechaeum and Kenchreai- which accommodated its increasing trade volume, the exploitation of its natural welth, mainly of clay and poros limestone and the establishment within the city of craft centers and workshops, contributed in various capacities to the creation of the most prosperous, economically and artistically diverse center of the Greek world until the end of the 6th century B.C.
  • Acrocorinth

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    We will visit the castle of Acrocorinth,the oldest and largest castle in southern Greece, for some amazing photos as it is a great waypoint.
  • Archaeological Site Mycenae

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    The fortified citadel of ancient Mycenae, the seat of the mythical and mighty King Agamemnon. An impressive and well-preserved site, the city of Mycenae gave its name to an entire civilization. Admire sites such as the Tomb of Clytemnestra, the infamous Lion’s Gate, the Cyclopean walls and learn of their blood-stained past. In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.
  • Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae is found at the entrance of the ancient site, just a few steps before the Lion Gate.
  • Citadel and Treasury of Atreus

    10 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon is a large tholos or beehive tomb on Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae constructed during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The stone lintel above the doorway weighs 120 tons, with approximate dimensions 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.2m, the largest in the world. The tomb was used for an unknown period. Mentioned by the Roman geographer Pausanias in the 2nd century AD, it was still visible in 1879 when the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the "agora" in the Acropolis at Mycenae.
  • Nafplio

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    Free time for lunch, coffee, or shopping at the ‘Naples of the East’ rich in Venetian architecture, cobbled squares, and towering castles with commanding views of the Argolic Gulf. Afterwards, unwind by the harbor or get lost in the colorful back streets of the most elegant town in mainland Greece. Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport held under a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.
