Il programma nel dettaglio
This full-day tour from Athens to the Argolis area takes you to some of the
major sites of Greek antiquity on the outskirts of the city.
Following a pick-up from your hotel, start your private trip with your professional and passionate guide that will give you the opportunity to explore the wonders of the ancient world. Traveling by luxury air-conditioned bus, you will enjoy a short stop at the strategically important
Corinth Canal, an impressive 3.9-mile-long (6.3-kilometer) canal that connects the
Gulf of Corinth to the Aegean Sea.
Continue to
Mycenae, the historical setting for much of ancient Greek literature, including the works of the
poet Homer. Here you will visit the archeological site, home to the
Lionesses Gate, and the
tomb of King Agamemnon. We will continue to the beautiful
seaport of Nauplio, the first capital of modern Greece and home to the
fortress of Palamidi. You will have the opportunity to explore this marvelous small town and enjoy an optional lunch.
The final stop of the tour is the
city of Epidaurus, home to the
World Heritage-listed ancient theatre and believed by ancient Greeks to be the
birthplace of Apollo’s son Asklepios. The theatre at Epidaurus is perhaps the best-preserved theatre of ancient Greece and is still used today due to its amazing acoustics.
