- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, and arguably turning the peninsula into an island.

- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a city-state situated on the Isthmus of Corinth, the slender land bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, approximately midway between Athens and Sparta.
- Archaeological Site Mycenae - Mycenae is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, northeastern Peloponnese, Greece. In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was a major center of Greek civilization, a military stronghold that dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades, and parts of southwest Anatolia.
- Citadel and Treasury of Atreus - The Treasury of Atreus, also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon, is a large tholos or beehive tomb on Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae, Greece, built during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The stone lintel above the doorway weighs 120 tons, making it 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.
- Acronauplia - Akronafplia is a rocky peninsula on a small hill located in the city of Nafplio. It used to be a significant fortress built by the Venetians but was occupied by various conquerors over time. From there, we will enjoy the breathtaking view of Nafplio city and the sea.
- Nafplio - Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese, Greece, that has expanded up the hillsides near the northern end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport held by a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, initially held by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, finally, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and 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.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is part of the archaeological site of Epidaurus and is located at the southeast end of the sanctuary dedicated to the ancient Greek God of medicine, Asclepius. It is built on the west side of Cynortion Mountain, near modern Lygourio, and belongs to the Epidaurus Municipality. It is considered the most important ancient Greek theatre in terms of acoustics and aesthetics.
