Activity itinerary

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal is an artificial canal in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. At the Corinth Canal, you’ll have a short break to refresh and stretch your legs while taking in one of Greece’s most impressive engineering feats and enjoiyng the view of this remarkable man-made passage. From the viewpoint above, you can look down into the narrow canal carved through rock and take striking photos of the waters connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas. A refreshing pause and a great opportunity to capture a unique moment before the journey continues.

Archaeological Site Mycenae

2h
Admission ticket included

Step into the heart of Homeric legend as you explore ancient Mycenae, the city once ruled by Agamemnon. Admire the sweeping mountain views, and the massive Cyclopean walls, walk through the iconic Lion Gate, and discover the grand “Treasure of Atreus,” a tholos tomb of breathtaking scale. Mycenae is not just a site. It is a journey into Greek mythology.

Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae

30m
Admission ticket included

At the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae, you’ll explore a collection of artefacts uncovered from the citadel and nearby tombs, including pottery, weapons, jewellery, fresco fragments, and everyday objects. As you move through the exhibits, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Mycenaean daily life, craftsmanship, and burial practices, adding valuable context to the monuments and ruins you’ve just visited at the site.

Syntagma Square

In Nafplio, you’ll spend time at Syntagma Square, the heart of Greece’s first modern capital, where neoclassical buildings and historic landmarks set the scene. From there, you’ll wander through the town’s cobblestone streets, narrow alleys, and pedestrianised areas, discovering charming squares, local shops, and waterfront views. This relaxed stroll lets you experience Nafplio’s elegant atmosphere at your own pace and enjoy some of the most picturesque corners of the town.

Nafplio

One of Greece's most romantic cities, Nafplio is famous for its listed architecture and majestic Venetian castles. Best of all, it is just a short drive from Athens, perfect for a daytrip or a stopover during a road trip in the Peloponnese .
