- Archaeological Site Mycenae - The archaeological site of Mycenae encompasses the fortified acropolis along with the adjacent burial and residential areas, primarily situated to the west and southwest of the Acropolis. Most of the visible structures date back to the center’s peak period, from 1350 to 1200 BC. The imposing Cyclopean walls encircle the nearly triangular acropolis, accessible from the northwest via the renowned Lion Gate, a symbol of the Mycenaean rulers’ power. The gate is named for the two lions carved in relief and placed in the relieving triangle above the entrance, a distinctive feature of Mycenaean architecture. Visitors can explore the Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon, a large beehive tomb on the hill of Panagitsa at Mycenae, built during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The stone lintel above the entrance weighs 120 tons, measuring approximately 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.2 meters, the largest in the world. The tomb’s period of use remains unknown.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - The archaeological site of Ancient Corinth is one of Greece’s most significant, featuring the Temple of Apollo, the ancient marketplace, Roman baths, and the Peirene Fountain. The Archaeological Museum showcases sculptures and artifacts that highlight the region’s history. Additionally, the Acrocorinth hill offers breathtaking views and is a popular spot for hiking.
- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal, or Isthmus of Corinth, is a narrow canal 6.4 km long that links the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. Constructed in 1893, it saves ships about 200 nautical miles by avoiding the route around the Peloponnese. It is also a major tourist attraction with steep sides reaching 80 meters high.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The Archaeological Site of Epidaurus is renowned for its ancient theater, celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and excellent preservation. Built in the 4th century BCE, it was part of the sanctuary of Asclepius, the god of medicine, where ancient Greeks sought healing. Today, the theater is used for performances and stands as a significant cultural monument and tourist attraction.
