• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Initially proposed in ancient times, an unsuccessful attempt to construct it was made in the 1st century AD. The canal is cut through the isthmus at sea level and does not have locks. It stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) in length and is only 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base, making it inaccessible for many modern vessels. Today, it holds little economic significance and serves primarily as a tourist attraction. From the bridge, visitors can enjoy stunning views and admire the steep limestone walls while watching vessels navigate the narrow canal.
• Archaeological Site Mycenae - Mycenae, known as ‘Rich in Gold,’ was the kingdom of the legendary Agamemnon, first celebrated by Homer in his epics. It is the most significant and affluent palatial center of the Late Bronze Age in Greece. The name Mycenae was given to one of the greatest civilizations of Greek prehistory, the Mycenaean civilization. Listed as a World Heritage Site since 1999, it preserves the impressive ruins of a city that dominated the eastern Mediterranean from the 15th to the 12th century B.C. and played a crucial role in the development of classical Greek culture. Mycenae was established between two tall conical hills, Profitis Ilias and Sara, on a low plateau that overlooks the Argive plain and controls both land and sea routes. The archaeological site includes the fortified acropolis and the surrounding burial and habitation sites, mainly located to its west and southwest. Most visible monuments date back to the period of great prosperity from 1350 to 1200 BC.
• Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae - Situated at the foot of the acropolis, the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae is a modern marvel for the area and a major attraction for thousands of tourists who visit this sacred place to admire part of the “Atrides’ treasure”. The museum houses nearly 2,500 exhibits dating from the Middle Bronze Age to the Hellenistic Period, originating from Mycenae and its surrounding region.
• Citadel and Treasury of Atreus - The Treasury of Atreus, also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon, is a large tholos or beehive tomb located on Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae, Greece. Constructed during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC, the stone lintel above the doorway weighs 120 tons, with dimensions approximately 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.2 meters, making it the largest in the world.
• Epidaurus Archaeological Museum - Located within the archaeological site of the sanctuary of Asclepius, the museum houses architectural elements from the temple and shrine buildings, as well as inscribed columns and pedestals, altars, bronze medical instruments, sculpted votive offerings, and tablets. It also features representations of the Asclepius temple (4th century BC) and sections of the Tholos. Built by P. Kavadias between 1902-1909, additional wings were later added to accommodate sculptures, pottery, and a collection of inscriptions uncovered during site excavations.
• The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is located in the Greek city of Epidaurus, at the southeast end of the sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the ancient Greek God of medicine. Built on the west side of Cynortion Mountain, near modern Lygourio, it belongs to the Epidaurus Municipality. It is considered the most perfect ancient Greek theatre in terms of acoustics and aesthetics.
• Sanctuary of Asklepios - The Sanctuary of Asklepios was a temple complex dedicated to Asklepios, the Greek god of healing, situated in the Valley of Dreams in Argolis, Greece.
• Nafplio - Enjoy free time for lunch, coffee, or shopping in the ‘Naples of the East,’ known for its rich Venetian architecture, cobbled squares, and towering castles with commanding views of the Argolic Gulf. Afterwards, relax by the harbor or explore the colorful back streets of the most elegant town in mainland Greece. Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese, Greece, that has expanded up the hillsides near the north end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport under various royal houses during the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, initially held by the de la Roche after the Fourth Crusade, before coming under the Republic of Venice and, finally, the Ottoman Empire. Nafplio was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and the Kingdom of Greece from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. It is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.
• Bourtzi - Admire the picturesque water castle of Bourtzi, a Venetian castle located in the middle of the harbor of Nafplio.
• Akronafplia Fortress - Overlooking the old part of town, the Akronafplia fortress is the oldest of Nafplio’s three castles, though it is less intriguing than the other two forts. The lower sections of the walls date back to the Bronze Age. Until the Venetians arrived, the town was confined within its walls. The Turks referred to it as İç Kale (meaning ‘inner castle’). It served as a Greek political prison from 1936-56.
• Palamidi Castle - Palamidi is a fortress located to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Perched on the crest of a 216-meter high hill, the fortress was constructed by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715). The fortress offers an impressive view over the Argolic Gulf, the city of Náfplio, and the surrounding countryside. There are 913 steps in the winding stair from the town to the fortress. However, to reach the top of the fortress, there are over one thousand steps, while locals in Nafplion claim there are 999 steps to the top of the castle.
