- Isthmus of Corinth - The Isthmus of Corinth is a slender land bridge linking Central Greece with the Peloponnese. The canal carved through it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning about 6 kilometers, its narrowest point is marked by the Corinth Canal, constructed between 1880 and 1893. Historically strategic, a wall was…
- Isthmus of Corinth - The Isthmus of Corinth is a slender land bridge linking Central Greece with the Peloponnese. The canal carved through it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning about 6 kilometers, its narrowest point is marked by the Corinth Canal, constructed between 1880 and 1893. Historically strategic, a wall was erected here in ancient times (late 5th century BC) and remained until the Byzantine era (Hexamilion).
- Archaeological Site Mycenae - A major hub of Greek culture, Mycenae was a formidable military stronghold that dominated much of Southern Greece and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Known as “Polychryses Mycenae,” the kingdom of the legendary Agamemnon, first celebrated by Homer, is the most significant and affluent palatial center of Greece’s Late Bronze Age. The Mycenaean civilization, named after this site, has left a lasting legacy through myths, Homeric epics, and classical tragedies, continuing to inspire global intellectual and artistic endeavors.
- “Treasury of Atreus” or “Tomb of Agamemnon” - Situated on the western slope of Panagitsa ridge, southwest of Mycenae’s acropolis, this vaulted tomb is one of the largest and most well-preserved Mycenaean tombs. Dated between 1350 and 1250 BC, it is the most impressive among the nine discovered in Mycenae.
- Lion Gate - The Lion Gate is the modern name for the main entrance to the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae in southern Greece. Built around 1250 BC on the acropolis’s northwestern side, it features a relief sculpture of two lionesses in a heraldic pose above the entrance.
- Nafplio - Nafplio, the capital of Argolida, is one of Greece’s most picturesque towns, known for its unspoiled architecture and neoclassical charm. It served as Greece’s capital from 1828 to 1833. The town center offers traditional cuisine in quaint settings.
- Bourtzi - Bourtzi is a castle on the islet of Agios Theodoros in Nafplio’s port, about 400 meters from the pier. The name “Bourtzi,” derived from Turkish-Arabic, means “island-fortress” and, along with Palamidi Castle, is a symbol of Nafplio. Originally named “Castello dello soglio” by the Venetians, the port was called “Porto di cadena” due to a chain that secured the port each night. The Turks later added an underwater stone barrier. Visitors can reach Bourtzi by small boats from Nafplio’s port, with a 10-minute ride and 20 minutes to explore. Tickets cost 4€.
- Palamidi Castle - Palamidi is a fortress east of Acronauplia in Nafplio, Peloponnese. Perched on a 216-meter hill, it was built by the Venetians during their second occupation (1686–1715). Despite its ambitious scale, it was completed quickly between 1711 and 1714, designed by Venetian engineer Antonio Giancix and built by French engineer Pierre de la Salle. Captured by the Ottomans in 1715, it remained under their control until 1822 when the Greeks took over.
- Epidaurus Archaeological Museum - Located in the historic town of Epidaurus at the base of Mount Arachnoe, this museum is renowned for its ancient theatre, built in 340 BC with a capacity of 13,000. The theatre’s exceptional acoustics and beauty have made it a centerpiece of the Epidaurus festival.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - Built on the western side of Mount Kynorti at the end of the Classical era, the Theatre of Asclepius in Epidaurus is a masterpiece of ancient Greek architecture. According to Pausanias, it was designed by Polykleitos the Younger, who also created the Dome in the same sanctuary.
- Temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus - The sanctuary of Asclepius in Epidaurus was the largest healing center of antiquity. The processional road led to the god’s temple and the Dome, a circular building where patients sought healing through divine encounters in their sleep. Nearby were facilities for sacrifices, a large hostel for patients and attendants, and the famous ancient theatre, celebrated for its beauty and harmony. Recent restorations have made the sanctuary’s layout and function clear even to non-experts.
