Corinth Canal
Marvel at the engineering marvel of the Corinth Canal, a 19th-century project connecting the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf and Athens. With its sea-level path and absence of locks, this 6.4-kilometer canal offers a fascinating historical perspective and serves as a captivating tourist attraction.
Ancient Corinth

Uncover the classical wonders of this archaeological site, located just northeast of the modern city of Corinth.
Mycenae
Step into the prehistoric citadel of Mycenae, perched atop a rocky hill known as “the Acropolis.” Delve into the history of Mycenae, a citadel constructed over millennia and occupied until approximately 1100 BC. Witness the remnants of a bygone era, including the iconic Lion’s Gate and Tholos Tombs.
Nafplion
Enjoy free time in Nafplion, Greece’s finest destination, for lunch, coffee, or shopping. This picturesque port town on the Argolic Gulf serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding region. Stroll through narrow streets adorned with Venetian-style mansions, visit shops offering local foods and artifacts, and savor the unique architecture of this charming town.
Palamidi Fortress
Ascend to the heights of Palamidi Fortress, perched on a 216-meter high hill and built by the Venetians during their second occupation from 1686 to 1715. Experience the impressive sight of Palamidi, complete with over a thousand steps leading to its summit.
Acronauplia
Explore Acronauplia, the oldest part of the city, where a modern hotel now stands. Named after the Acropolis hill in Athens, this fortification offers a historical backdrop with its unique appearance. Discover the fortifications of the city, including Palamidi and Bourtzi.
Bourtzi
Admire Bourtzi, a Venetian castle situated in the heart of Nafplio’s harbor. Initially built as a defense fortress against pirate attacks, Bourtzi later became a formidable residence for the Knights of St. John order. Dating back to the 12th century, this castle, perched on small rocks, preserves its original structure and adds to the captivating charm of Nafplio.
