DAY 1

Corinth Canal

Take time to appreciate this amazing feat of engineering from the nineteenth century. This impressive artificial water channel carved out of solid rock connects the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs, providing an awe-inspiring vertigo-inducing view.

Ancient Corinth Archaeological Site & Museum

Experience walking in a location that used to be one of the most influential, affluent, and culturally rich city-states of ancient Greece. Wander around the enormous archaeological site and admire the awe-inspiring Temple of Apollo that dates back to 540 B.C. with its imposing columns of the Doric style, which dominate the scenery. Take a stroll through the streets that the Apostle Paul himself walked and preached on. This trip is completed by your visit to the Archaeological Museum located right there on-site.

Ancient Epidaurus

Enter into the sacred healing shrine of antiquity dedicated to Asclepius, the god of medicine. This historic marvel is the famous Theatre of Epidaurus, a masterpiece of ancient Greek architecture constructed around the 4th century BC. This place is renowned for its acoustic excellence, which has been preserved up to the present time. From the topmost seats, you can hear the sound of a coin being dropped or a whispered word uttered from the central stage with absolute precision.

Mycenae

Discover the grand ruins of the glorious golden kingdom of the celebrated King Agamemnon who led the army of the Greeks to fight the mighty Trojan War. Traverse under the eyes of the grandeur of the Lion Gate – the oldest known monumental sculpture in Europe – and follow the steps of the royals of this awesome citadel. Surrounded by the huge Cyclopean walls made of gigantic stones that could only be moved by giants according to ancient Greek legends, this is where one of the most powerful civilizations of the Mediterranean was born.

Nafplio City

Surrender to the ageless romance of the first capital of Greece. Walk around the charming city that combines the elegance of Venice with the sophistication of Greece. Explore the narrow streets adorned with bougainvillea, admire the magnificent neoclassic houses, relax in the famous Syntagma Square, and take a walk along the seashore under the refreshing breezes of the sea. Enjoy the vibrant life, visit small shops and cafes along the coast – an excellent ending for a day full of memorable sights.

DAY 2

Palamidi Fortress

Situated on top of a 216-meter-high hill, this Venetian fortification is one of the best preserved forts in Greece. Built in the beginning of the 18th century, its massive stone walls contain the history of hundreds of years of warfare and also the famous prison cell where the legendary hero of the Greek revolution, Theodoros Kolokotronis was imprisoned. Whether you decide to climb the famous 999 steps or travel to the top by car, the view from above will be breathtaking.

Ancient Olympia

Step onto the hallowed grounds of Ancient Olympia, the sacred sanctuary that gave birth to the Olympic Games in 776 B.C. Walk through the monumental ruins of the Temple of Zeus—once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—and the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic flame is still lit today. Feel the echoes of antiquity as you enter the original ancient stadium; stand at the very starting line where the greatest athletes of the ancient world competed for eternal glory and an olive wreath.

The Archaeological Museum of Olympia

Just a short walk from the ruins, explore one of the most important archaeological museums in Greece. Stand in absolute awe before the breathtaking Hermes of Praxiteles, a flawless masterpiece of classical sculpture, and the striking Nike (Victory) of Paionios. The museum's extensive collection of intricate bronze artifacts, weapons, and terracotta finds brilliantly brings the wealth and power of the ancient sanctuary back to life.
