Corinth - Nemea - Mycenae - Nafplio

Corinth Canal - The tour begins with a scenic seaside drive, passing through coastal villages and the island of Salamis, known for the historic naval battle between the Athenians and Persians. The first stop is the Corinth Canal, which was finally completed in 1892, separating the Peloponnese Peninsula from mainland Greece and connecting the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. Visitors can stretch their legs, walk across a pedestrian bridge, and admire the canal up close. On certain days, bungee jumping is also available.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Situated at the base of a hill, Ancient Corinth features the Roman Agora of Corinth, the Temple of Apollo, and a small museum. Besides its archaeological and historical significance, it is a prominent religious site in Greece. Here, Apostle Paul preached Christianity, faced judgment by the tribunal in the Agora, and established one of the best-organized Christian churches of that era.

Temple of Apollo - The tour includes a visit to the Temple of Apollo in Ancient Corinth. This temple is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and mainland Greece, constructed around 560 B.C.E. from local monolithic limestone atop a rocky hill north of Acrocorinth. The Archaic temple symbolized the growth and prosperity of Corinth.

Archaeological Museum of Nemea - The next stop is Ancient Nemea, known for the Nemean Games, its ancient Greek stadium, and the Temple of Zeus.

The site features a well-preserved stadium located on a higher level, with tunnels through which athletes entered.

Archaeological Site Mycenae - The tour continues to Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the 2nd millennium B.C.E. It represents the era of Achilles, Agamemnon, and Helen of Troy. Visitors can explore the cyclopean walls, burial circle A, and the remains of Agamemnon’s Palace.

Once the capital of Greece until 1834, Nafplio is considered the most picturesque city, offering a stunning blend of fortresses and castles (Palamidi, Bourtzi), a vast harbor open to the Aegean Sea, and unique architecture in the old city that reveals Venetian, neoclassical, and oriental influences.
