Argolis

Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, thus arguably transforming the peninsula into an island.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a city-state located on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated approximately midway between Athens and Sparta.

Archaeological Site Mycenae - Mycenae is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, northeastern Peloponnese, Greece. 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.

Citadel and Treasury of Atreus - The Treasury of Atreus, or Tomb of Agamemnon, is a large tholos or beehive tomb on Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae, Greece, built during the Bronze Age around 1250 BC. The stone lintel above the entrance weighs 120 tons, with dimensions that make it the largest in the world. The tomb was used for an unknown duration. Mentioned by the Roman geographer Pausanias in the 2nd century AD, it was still visible in 1879 when the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the “agora” in the Acropolis at Mycenae.

Acronauplia - Akronafplia is a rocky peninsula on a small hill located in the city of Nafplio. It was once a significant fortress constructed by Venetians but was occupied by various conquerors over time. From there, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view of Nafplio city and the sea.

Nafplio - Nafplio is a seaport town in the Peloponnese in Greece that has expanded up the hillsides near the northern end of the Argolic Gulf. The town was an important seaport held under a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, initially held by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834. Nafplio is now the capital of the regional unit of Argolis.

Epidavros - Epidaurus was a small city in ancient Greece, on the Argolis Peninsula at the Saronic Gulf. Two towns bear the name Epidavros: Palaia Epidavros and Nea Epidavros. Since 2010, they belong to the new municipality of Epidaurus, part of the regional unit of Argolis.

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is part of the archaeological site of Epidaurus and is located on the southeast end of the sanctuary dedicated to the ancient Greek God of medicine, Asclepius. It is built on the west side of Cynortion Mountain, near modern Lygourio, and belongs to the Epidaurus Municipality. It is considered to be the most important ancient Greek theatre with regard to acoustics and aesthetics.

Ancient Olympia

Archaeological Site of Olympia - In the morning, after breakfast, visitors will explore the archaeological sites and the museum of ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. They will see the ancient stadium that hosted the Olympic Games every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD, the Palaistra, where athletes trained for wrestling events. Additionally, they will visit the ruins of the temple of Zeus, where the statue of Olympian Zeus, one of the seven wonders of the world, once stood. Finally, they will see the workshop of Phedias, the great sculptor and architect who created some of the greatest statues of his time, including the goddess Athena Parthenos, Athena Promahos, and Olympian Zeus. Early in the evening, the group will return to Athens.

Archimedes Museum - This unique museum is dedicated to the ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and inventor who made invaluable contributions to the world of technology.

Nafpaktos - Naupaktos was a significant Athenian naval station during the Peloponnesian War. As a strategically crucial possession controlling access to the Gulf of Corinth, Naupaktos changed hands many times during the Crusades and the Ottoman–Venetian Wars. It was under Venetian control in the 15th century and became known by the Venetian form of its name, Lepanto. It fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1499 and was used as a naval station by the Ottoman Navy in the 16th century, being the site of the decisive victory by the Holy League in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Except for a brief period of Venetian control in 1687–1699, Lepanto remained under Ottoman control until Greek independence in 1829.

Delphi

Delphi Archaeological Museum - Delphi is the ancient sanctuary that prospered as the seat of Pythia, the oracle consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the center of the world to be in Delphi, marked by the stone monument known as the omphalos (navel).

Arachova - Arachova is a mountain town and a former municipality in the western part of Boeotia, Greece, originally called Karyai (also spelled Caryae). Since the 2011 local government reform, it is a municipal unit, part of the municipality Distomo-Arachova-Antikyra. Its name is of South Slavic origin and denotes a place with walnut trees. It is a tourist destination due to its location in the mountains, its traditions, and its proximity to the town of Delphi.

Meteora

Meteora - The Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, second in importance only to Mount Athos. The six (of an original twenty-four) monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. It is located near the town of Kalambaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios River and Pindus Mountains. Meteora is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List under criteria I, II, IV, V, and VII. The name means “lofty,” “elevated,” and is etymologically related to meteor.

Thermopylae Museum - Thermopylae (hot gates) is a place in Greece where a narrow coastal passage existed in antiquity. It derives its name from its hot sulfur springs. The Hot Gates is “the place of hot springs” and in Greek mythology, it is the cavernous entrances to Hades. Thermopylae is world-famous for the battle that took place there between the Greek forces (notably the Spartans) and the invading Persian forces, commemorated by Simonides in the famous epitaph, “Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, That here obedient to their laws we lie.” Thermopylae is the only land route large enough to bear any significant traffic between Lokris and Thessaly. This passage from north to south along the east coast of the Balkan peninsula requires use of the pass and for this reason, Thermopylae has been the site of several battles. A main highway now splits the pass, with a modern-day monument to King Leonidas I of Sparta on the east side of the highway. It is directly across the road from the hill where Simonides of Ceos’s epitaph to the fallen is engraved in stone at the top. Thermopylae is part of the infamous “horseshoe of Maliakos” also known as the “horseshoe of death”: it is the narrowest part of the highway connecting the north and the south of Greece. It has many turns and has been the site of many vehicular accidents.
