TOUR DESCRIPTION
Ready to journey into the heart of Greece's fabled Peloponnese? From ancient ruins and Venetian charm to theater stages where the earth seems to sing—this tour through Argolida has it all!
Corinth Canal: Where Seas Shake Hands
We kick off by zooming down to the sun-drenched coastline of Corinth. Behold the Corinth Canal! Time it right, and you might just catch a ship tiptoeing through this narrow isthmus. The suspense!
Ancient Corinth: Where Paul Held Court
On to Ancient Corinth—where St. Paul didn't just talk; he preached. Admire Roman footprints in the Temple of Octavia and saunter down the Lechaion Road. Don't miss the museum: a haven of exquisitely crafted amphorae. Time to snap those pics!
Acrocorinth: Elevated Beauty
Then it's up, up, up to Acrocorinth—positioned dramatically above the city. A 2.5-mile drive that feels like a pilgrimage, this is sky-high sightseeing at its finest.
Rural Romance: Apricots, Olives, and Grapes
We drift through the bucolic charm of Peloponnesian farmland. Olive groves, apricot orchards, and vineyards parade by your window. Meet the agrarian heartland that gifts Greece its prized olives and succulent grapes.
Nemean Games to Mycenaean Majesty
Enter Nemea—the ancient stadium where athletes once sprinted for glory. Wrapped in vineyards, this place is dripping with both history and wine. Next, uncover the mysteries of Mycenae—home to Agamemnon’s tomb and a city unearthed by Heinrich Schliemann in the 19th century. It's archaeology meets mythology!
Nafplio: The Seaside Serenade
Coast into Nafplio, a Venetian wonder with roots stretching back to the 16th century. As Greece's first capital, it's equal parts history and beauty. Let's lunch by the sea, shall we? Up for a castle visit? Palamidi awaits.
Epidavros: Where Theater Whispers
Orchards give way to Epidavros. Marvel at the ancient theatre, renowned for acoustics so perfect you can hear a pin drop from the last row. Modern-day actors grace this stage, bringing ancient drama back to life. The adjacent Sanctuary of Asklepios and museum add another layer of wonder.
Corinthian Mountains to Café Vistas
Ascend through the Corinthian mountains and pause at a scenic café. Greek frappe with a side of ice cream? Don't mind if we do! It's a caffeine-kissed moment against the backdrop of charming Epidavros town.
Epilogue: Athens Bound
Refreshed and recharged, we weave our way back to Athens. Reflect on a day of astonishing sites and experiences, all wrapped up in the irresistible allure of Argolida.
