Overview

Enjoy a scenic drive through the Greek countryside, passing by picturesque landscapes and olive groves. First, stop at the magnificent Corinth Canal that unites the Aegean Sea with the Corinth Gulf. Right after that, we arrive at the archaeological site of Ancient Mycenae. Mycenae has endured for millennia on its rocky hillside overlooking the Argolic Gulf. You begin your exploration with the extraordinary Cyclopean walls. Walk through the Lion Gate and discover the famous tholos tomb known as the ‘Treasure of Atreus,’ believed to be the burial place of King Agamemnon. Enter the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae to view a collection of artifacts and treasures excavated from the site. Continue for lunch and complete your journey at Nafplion, a picturesque coastal town known for its historical significance and charming atmosphere. Stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town of Nafplion, discovering its Venetian and Ottoman influences.
