About the Tour

Leave by the coastal road along the Saronic Gulf to the Corinth Canal, which connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea (short stop). Drive on to Mycenae, the Homeric city of the Atreides - the city "rich in gold" of the ancient poets. Visit the Lions Gate, the Cyclopean Walls, the Royal Tombs, etc. Depart for Nafplion through the fertile plain of Argolis, the picturesque town nestling at the foot of a cliff crowned by the mighty ramparts of the Palamidi Fortress. After lunch (in Mycenae of Nafplion) leave for Epidaurus to visit the Theatre (4th century B.C.) famous for its astonishing acoustics. Return to Athens by the national road connecting Epidaurus with Corinth late in the afternoon.
