• Corinth Canal - Located just an hour’s drive from Athens in the Peloponnese region, the Corinth Canal is a must-see on the way to Mycenae. This engineering marvel connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. A brief 20-minute stop is made here for photos and to appreciate its grandeur.

• Archaeological Museum of Mycenae - Following the canal visit, the journey continues to Mycenae, a pivotal city in ancient Greece. Visitors can explore the Mycenaean Acropolis, the tomb of Agamemnon, and the remnants of the Cyclopean walls that once fortified this powerful city. The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae is also open for exploration.

In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was a central hub of Greek civilization, a military stronghold that influenced much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades, and parts of southwest Anatolia. The era from approximately 1600 BC to 1100 BC is known as the Mycenaean period, named after this city.

According to Homer, Perseus, the son of Danae and Zeus, founded Mycenae. By the time of Agamemnon, the Royal House of Atreus was the most influential among the Achaeans (Homer’s term for the Greeks).

• A 90-minute stop is scheduled at Mycenae.

• The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The final stop on this historical tour is the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.

This 4th-century BC theater is one of the best-preserved Classical Greek structures. Constructed from limestone, it is undoubtedly the highlight of the Epidaurus area.

Renowned for its exceptional acoustics, a coin dropped at the center can be heard from the highest seat. The theater accommodates up to 14,000 spectators. Its entrance is adorned with restored Corinthian pilasters, and the ancient stage’s foundations lie beyond the circle. It currently hosts performances of Ancient Greek drama during the annual Hellenic Festival.

• A 1-hour stop is planned at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.

• Before or after visiting Mycenae/Epidaurus, there is an option to stop at a nearby village or town for snacks or a quick lunch.

• Drop-off is available at the pick-up point or any central location in Athens or Piraeus.

• Mycenae - In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was a major center of Greek civilization, a military stronghold that dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades, and parts of southwest Anatolia.
