Overview
Walk through the cradle of Western civilization on a journey through myth, history, and beauty.
This immersive tour of Argolida brings to life some of the most legendary cities of Ancient Greece: Corinth, Mycenae, Tiryns, Epidaurus, and Nafplio. Accompanied by a professional guide, guests will uncover the grandeur of Greek civilization and the epic stories that shaped mythology and history. Begin your journey at Corinth, a powerful ancient city where the Apostle Paul once preached. You'll enjoy panoramic views from the hilltop Acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth) and marvel at the famous Isthmus, the land bridge that connects mainland Greece with the Peloponnese.In Mycenae, the legendary kingdom of Agamemnon, step through the Lion Gate and explore the royal tholos tombs and Cyclopean walls. Nearby, Tiryns, with its massive fortifications, stands as a testament to Mycenaean engineering. Then, visit Epidaurus, home to the world-renowned ancient theater, famed for its perfect acoustics and still in use today. Conclude your journey in Nafplio, the romantic first capital of modern Greece. Stroll through its neoclassical streets, admire the Venetian Palamidi fortress, and take in the sea views from the Bourtzi Castle floating in the harbor.
For those with more time, the tour can be extended to include Delphi, the sanctuary of Apollo and the famed Oracle.
