A unique full day trip in the province of Argolis!
We leave from Athens joining the coastal road until the first stop in the Corinth Canal, a unique technical achievement of the 19th century, connecting the Ionian with the Aegean Sea (short stop). Then we drive to Mycenae, the citadel of one of the oldest pre-historical civilizations famous all around the world for the story of the Trojan War. This is the place from where the Greeks had set off for the expedition in Troy in order to get back beautiful Helene and where the golden mask of Agamemnon was found. We will see the famous Lion’s Gate, the monumental entrance, the Cyclopean Walls and the Treasury of Atreus, a monumental structure for the burial of the King. Before we depart for Nafplio, we will have a lunch break at Mycenae.

We will stroll around the alleys of the first capital of Greece, we will admire the local architecture, the great Venetian castle of Palamidi and the stronghold of Bourtzi and the cathedral of Saint George. After a short walking tour, you will have free time on your own to enjoy the city. In the afternoon, we return back to Athens full of colorful images and unique smells.
