Dep. 08.45 – Ret. 19.00

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 to Mycenae, the Homeric city of Atreides, the city “rich in gold”. Visit the Lion’s Gate, the Cyclopean Walls and the Royal Tombs. Lunch-break in Mycenae. Depart for Nafplio 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 (short photo stop), then leave for Epidaurus to visit the Theatre (4th century B.C.) famous for its astonishing acoustics. Return back to Athens by the coastal road connecting Epidaurus with Corinth.
