What To Expect

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal, a marvel of engineering and natural beauty, connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea, dramatically cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth in Greece. This 6.4-kilometer-long canal, completed in 1893, allows vessels to bypass the lengthy route around the Peloponnese Peninsula, saving time and fuel. With steep limestone walls reaching up to 79 meters in height and a width of only about 25 meters at its narrowest, the canal creates a striking visual spectacle for visitors. Standing on one of the bridges above, you can watch boats maneuver carefully through the narrow passage, almost close enough to touch the towering rock walls on either side. For thrill-seekers, the canal even offers bungee jumping, providing an exhilarating way to experience its height and depth. Located near ancient Corinth and accessible from Athens, the Corinth Canal is a popular stop on many Greek tours, blending history, adventure, and scenic views in one unforgettable location.

Archaeological Site Mycenae

Mycenae, one of ancient Greece's most important archaeological sites, offers visitors a journey back to the heart of Mycenaean civilization. Nestled on a hilltop in the Peloponnese, this legendary city dates back to the second millennium BCE and is steeped in the stories of Homer’s epics. Mycenae was once a powerful kingdom, and its ruins still tell tales of its mighty past. The iconic Lion Gate, with its two sculpted lions, marks the entrance to the fortified city and is one of the earliest examples of monumental sculpture in Europe. Inside, you'll find the ruins of royal palaces, defensive walls, and the impressive tholos tombs, like the Treasury of Atreus, believed to be the tomb of Agamemnon. Visitors can explore the remnants of this once-thriving center of art, trade, and culture while surrounded by stunning countryside views. Mycenae’s archaeological museum adds depth to the experience, showcasing artifacts that reveal the sophistication and wealth of this ancient civilization.

Nafplio

Nafplio, a charming coastal town in the Peloponnese, is a gem of Greek history and beauty. Known as Greece's first capital after independence, Nafplio boasts a captivating blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek influences. Its old town is a maze of narrow streets lined with neoclassical mansions, vibrant bougainvillea, and inviting cafes.

The waterfront is dotted with seafood tavernas, and a scenic promenade leads to Bourtzi, a small island fortress that seems to float on the turquoise sea. Nafplio offers a relaxing experience with plenty of attractions for history lovers, including the Acronafplia fortress and local museums. Close to other ancient sites like Mycenae and Epidaurus, Nafplio is the perfect mix of rich heritage, seaside charm, and stunning vistas, making it a must-visit on any Greek itinerary.
