• Athens - After pick-up, there is a drive of approximately one hour.

• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal, completed in 1893, made navigation around the peninsula much safer for vessels. However, it required immense labor from those who had to pull the ships across the isthmus. Under Greece’s blue skies, one might witness a massive vessel navigating through the narrow, man-made waterway, with only inches to spare on either side, as those aboard admire the engineering feat.

• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Ancient Corinth was a major city in Greece, housing 90,000 people in 400 BC. The Romans destroyed it in 146 BC, rebuilt it in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece. Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the land bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated roughly between Athens and Sparta.

• Archaeological site of Mycenae - Mycenae, known as ‘Rich in Gold,’ was the kingdom of the legendary Agamemnon, first celebrated by Homer. It is the most significant and affluent palatial center of the Late Bronze Age in Greece. The site features palatial complexes, awe-inspiring Cyclopean masonry, the renowned “Tomb of Agamemnon” (or “Treasury of Atreus”), grand arches, fountains, and ramparts, forming one of the ancient world’s greatest architectural complexes.

• Nafplio - A stop for lunch, photos, and a walk. Nafplio is one of Greece’s most beautiful and romantic cities, serving as the first capital of the newly established Greek state from 1823 to 1834. According to mythology, it was founded by Nafplios, the son of Poseidon. Its history dates back to the prehistoric era, with soldiers from Nafplio participating in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War. The town declined during Roman times but flourished again in the Byzantine era. Frankish, Venetian, and Turkish conquerors left their mark, influencing its culture, architecture, and traditions. Ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments, statues, Ottoman fountains, and Venetian or neoclassical buildings captivate visitors with their unique architecture and beauty.

• The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - Visit the sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidaurus and the Great Theatre of Epidaurus, a tribute to the origins of Greek healing cults. The expansive site, with its temples and hospital buildings dedicated to the gods, illustrates the shift from belief in divine healing to the science of medicine.
