- 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.

- Palamidi Castle - Palamidi Castle, situated on a high hill above Nafplio in the Peloponnese, Greece, is a masterpiece of Venetian military architecture. It offers the most stunning view of Nafplio!
Constructed by the Venetians between 1711 and 1714 during their second occupation of the region, it was strategically designed to protect the important port city. The fortress consists of eight bastions connected by walls, allowing defense in multiple directions. It offers panoramic views of the Argolic Gulf and Nafplio, enhancing its defensive and aesthetic appeal. The castle was later used by the Ottomans and famously served as a prison, including for Greek hero Theodoros Kolokotronis. Visitors can climb its 999 steps from the town below or drive to the entrance. Its impressive structure, historical significance, and stunning vistas make Palamidi a major attraction. Today, it stands as a testament to centuries of Greek and European history, embodying a blend of military strength and architectural elegance.
- Nafplio - Nafplio is regarded as one of Greece’s most beautiful and romantic towns due to its stunning seaside location, neoclassical architecture, and rich history.
Visitors have the opportunity to explore its beauty and enjoy a meal in the heart of the Old Town!
Nestled between mountains and the Argolic Gulf, it enchants with cobblestone alleys, flower-filled balconies, and elegant Venetian, Ottoman, and neoclassical buildings. The romantic ambiance is enhanced by scenic waterfronts, historic castles like Palamidi and Bourtzi, and breathtaking sunsets.
Historically, Nafplio has deep roots dating back to ancient times, but it flourished under Venetian and Ottoman rule. After Greece’s War of Independence, it became the first capital of modern Greece from 1823 to 1834. Its layered history is visible in its architecture, fortifications, and churches. Today, Nafplio blends the romance of a preserved old town with the vibrancy of modern Greek life, making it a favorite for couples and history enthusiasts alike.
