Excursion Itinerary: Argolida & Mycenae - To Peloponnese From Athens
Early in the morning, at the appointed time, we will pick you up from your hotel or closest meeting point to start this great excursion to Mycenae, one of the major centers of Greek civilization.
At first, we will make a stop at the famous Corinth canal, called Isthmus in Greek, to take panoramic photos of the spot where the Peloponesse and Central Greece unite, as well as the Aegean, connects with the Ionian Sea. This canal was completed in the latter 19th century during the governorship of Charilaus Trikoupis and reduces the sailing time instead of cirmumnavigating the Peloponesse for more than 400 km.
As you continue the journey you will pass towns with a rich history and an eminent presence in modern Greece until we reach the Acropolis of Mycenae. Mycenae was once the center of the Mycenean or Achaean civilization.
According to mythology, the city was built by Perseus with the assistance of the Cyclops (one-eyed giants). Once you are in the inner chamber, you can inspect the Cyclopean Walls, the Lion Gate, the Tombs of ancient kings, the Palace, the 99-step water cistern, the tomb of Aegisthus and the tomb of Clytemnestra among others, all these presented to you in a detailed and passionate commentary by the guide. Close to the Acropolis of Mycenae lies one of the greatest splendors of this civilization: the tomb of King Agamemnon. At noon, you will have a lunch break and rest.
Then you will depart for Nauplion 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 where you will make a short photo stop.
The next destination is Epidaurus where you will enter the culture of the fourth century BC. Epidaurus was one of the most important pilgrimage centers of antiquity where the most famous Sanctuary of the medical God Asclepius is located. On the hillside of Knortion Mountain is the Epidaurus Theater, the best-preserved theater to this day. Its construction was not carried out independently of Asclepius. It was part of the therapeutic process since through the theatrical performances the distraction of the patients was achieved, which was part of the healing process of their souls. The Theater of Epidaurus, known for its acoustics, has a capacity for almost 16,000 spectators and is still used today by prestigious international festivals and artists.
Having finished the tour, you will be taken back to Athens around 19:30 hrs.
Greca Tip: Try to wear comfortable shoes.
