We'll leave by the coastal road along the Saronic Gulf to the Corinth Canal, which connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea, where we'll have a short stop. We'll continue our drive to Mycenae, the Homeric city of Atreides – the city rich in gold and home of the ancient poets. We'll visit the Lion’s Gate, the Cyclopean Walls, the Royal Tombs, and others. Afterward, we pass through the fertile plain of Argolis, and arrive at the picturesque town of Nauplion, nestling at the foot of a cliff crowned by the mighty ramparts of the Palamidi Fortress. Later in the afternoon, we head for Epidauros to visit the Theater (4th century B.C), famous for its astonishing acoustics. We return to Athens via the national road connecting Epidauros with Corinth. Lunch in Mycenae or in Nauplio. Notes: The tour includes lunch.
