Activity itinerary

Corinth Canal

  • 15m
The Corinth Canal is a strategic, man-made waterway in Greece, cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth to connect the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Completed in 1893 after several failed attempts dating back to ancient times, the canal is 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) long and 21.4 metres (70 feet) wide at its base. It significantly reduces the maritime travel distance by 700 kilometres (430 miles), avoiding the lengthy circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula. The successful completion in the 19th century was a significant engineering feat, symbolising the triumph of modern technology over ancient ambitions. Despite its narrow width limiting the size of vessels that can navigate it, the canal remains a vital maritime route for smaller ships and a popular tourist attraction, highlighting Greece's rich history and engineering prowess.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The historical site of ancient Corinth, located on the narrow stretch of land connecting mainland Greece with the Peloponnese, was a major city in antiquity renowned 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 providing defence and spectacular views. Corinth thrived 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 famous for the Isthmian Games, held in honour of Poseidon. In Roman times, Corinth became a significant administrative centre. 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

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae, located near the ancient citadel, houses artefacts from the Mycenaean civilisation, including pottery, tools, jewellery, and Linear B tablets. Its exhibits offer insights into Mycenaean culture, daily life, and burial practices. It is located within the archaelogical site of Mycenae.

Archaeological site of Mycenae

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The archaeological site of Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a key centre of the Mycenaean civilisation (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 artefacts, showcasing Mycenae's role as a powerful kingdom in ancient Greece, central to Homeric legends like the Trojan War.

Citadel and Treasury of Atreus

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Treasury of Atreus, or Tomb of Agamemnon, is a grand tholos tomb at Mycenae, built 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

  • 1h 30m
Nafplio, a beautiful 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

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
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 centre 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 Theatre 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. Today, the site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolising ancient Greece's contributions to health and culture.
