Leave Athens after pick up from your hotel or apartment

We leave Athens and head towards the Corinth canal. Here we have a short stop by the Corinth canal, which separates the mainland from the peninsula of the Peloponnese and connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea. There you will have the chance to enjoy breathtaking views, taking as many photographs as you would like to.

Continuing our journey we drive towards the archaeological site of Mycenae, passing through the lush valley of Argolis with its many olive groves, lemon and orange trees. On your way you will drive pass the Mycenaean citadel of Tiryns and you will be impressed by its remaining cyclopean walls. Once upon a time there used to be a two story high palace of great importance on top of that hill. Once in Mycenae you will enjoy a guided tour through the treasure of Atreus (the tomb of Agamemnon) and the ancient citadel. We learn about the classical Greek culture as we walk through this impressive site.

Walk inside the tomb passing the ancient pass that was leading to its one and only entrance and enter the tomb that still stands intact. Once inside you will see another smaller gate leading to an extra room, which must have been the treasury house of it. If the assumptions of the archaeologists are correct and this was the tomb of Agamemnon, try to imagine the amount of gold and jewels that must have been placed there, in order for him to take with to the afterlife.

We proceed to the beautiful town of Nafplio. The afternoon is free for you for a visit to the majestic Venetian fortress of Palamidi crowning the city or alternatively go for a refreshing swim. Don’t miss also the opportunity to visit important landmarks such as the Old Mosque, Vouleftikon and harbor island fortress of Mpourtzi.
