• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a crucial, man-made waterway in Greece, slicing through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth to link the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Completed in 1893 after numerous unsuccessful attempts dating back to ancient times, the canal stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) long and 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base. It significantly shortens maritime travel by 700 kilometers (430 miles), eliminating the need for the lengthy circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula.

The successful completion in the 19th century was a remarkable engineering achievement, symbolizing the triumph of modern technology over ancient aspirations. Despite its narrow width limiting the size of vessels that can pass through, the canal remains an essential maritime route for smaller ships and a popular tourist attraction, showcasing Greece’s rich history and engineering expertise.

• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - The historical site of ancient Corinth, situated on the narrow land bridge connecting mainland Greece with the Peloponnese, was a major city in antiquity known for its wealth and strategic location. Key landmarks include the Temple of Apollo, one of Greece’s oldest Doric temples, and the impressive Acrocorinth, a fortified hill offering defense and stunning views.

Corinth flourished as a commercial hub, facilitated by its two ports, Lechaeum and Kenchreai, linking trade routes between the Aegean and Adriatic seas. The city was also renowned for the Isthmian Games, held in honor of Poseidon. In Roman times, Corinth became a significant administrative center.

Excavations reveal a vibrant city with public buildings, shops, and fountains, reflecting its prosperity. The ancient city is also significant in Christian history, as the Apostle Paul visited and wrote two epistles to the Corinthians, contributing to its rich historical tapestry.

• Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae - The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae, located near the ancient citadel, houses artifacts from the Mycenaean civilization, including pottery, tools, jewelry, and Linear B tablets. Its exhibits offer insights into Mycenaean culture, daily life, and burial practices. It is located within the archaeological site of Mycenae.
• Archaeological site of Mycenae - The archaeological site of Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a key center of the Mycenaean civilization (1600–1100 BC). It features the iconic Lion Gate, the royal grave circles, and the Cyclopean walls. The site includes the palace complex, the Treasury of Atreus (a tholos tomb), and residential areas. Excavations have revealed royal tombs, pottery, and gold artifacts, showcasing Mycenae’s role as a powerful kingdom in ancient Greece, central to Homeric legends like the Trojan War.
• Citadel and Treasury of Atreus - The Treasury of Atreus, or Tomb of Agamemnon, is a grand tholos tomb at Mycenae, constructed around 1250 BC. Its entrance, marked by a monumental doorway, leads to a long dromos (passage) lined with massive stone blocks. Inside, a circular, beehive-shaped chamber with a 13.5-meter-high corbelled dome showcases the Mycenaeans’ advanced engineering. The tomb’s construction reflects the wealth and power of Mycenaean rulers, though its association with Agamemnon is more legend than fact.
• Nafplio - Nafplio, a picturesque coastal town in the northeastern Peloponnese, is one of Greece’s most charming and historically significant destinations. It served as the first capital of modern Greece (1823–1834) and boasts a rich blend of Venetian, Ottoman, and Greek architecture. The old town enchants visitors with its narrow, winding streets, neoclassical mansions, and vibrant squares, such as Syntagma Square. Overlooking Nafplio is the imposing Palamidi Fortress, accessible via 999 steps, offering breathtaking views of the town and the Argolic Gulf. Another landmark is the Bourtzi Castle, situated on a small islet, adding to the town’s romantic charm. Nafplio also features the Akronafplia Fortress and Arvanitia Beach, making it a perfect blend of history, culture, and nature. Visitors can explore museums, historical sites, enjoy fine dining, and experience the lively atmosphere of its many cafés and shops, making it a must-see destination in Greece.
• The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The archaeological site of Epidaurus is one of Greece’s most significant ancient sanctuaries. Dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine, it was a renowned healing center during the classical and Hellenistic periods. Visitors from across the ancient world came to seek cures for their ailments through both spiritual rituals and advanced medical practices.

The site includes the famous Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, celebrated for its acoustics and still in use today for performances. Other key structures include the Tholos, a circular building possibly used for mystical healing rituals, and the Abaton, where patients would sleep to receive divine dreams for guidance. The sanctuary also housed temples, baths, a stadium, and a hospital. The ruins reflect Epidaurus’ dual role as a place of worship and medical innovation, blending religious faith with pioneering treatments.
