Enjoy the Adventure
Another Unesco listed archeological site in Greece is offered to be explored when participating in the One Day Mycenae, Nafplion and Epidaurus guided tour departing from Athens . Explore the remains of the ancient city of Mycenae, a major centre of Greek civilization from 1600BC to 1100BC and a world heritage monument. Depart from our terminal via the coastal National highway for the Corinth canal (short stop). After the Corinth Canal, you will enter the region of Argolis, land of Homer’s Golden Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Dating back to the second century B.C., Mycenae was one of the major centers of Greek civilization and a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece . Visit the archaeological site, home to the kingdom of mythical Agamemnon. You will see the Cyclopean Walls, the Lion’s Gate, the Royal Tombs including Agamemnon Clytemnestra’s, and the Treasury of Atreus, a magnificent 14th-century B.C. structure.
Time will then be taken for Greek traditional lunch at a restaurant nearby. After lunch proceed to Nauplio, the first capital of modern Greece with its Venetian fortress of Palamidi and the fortified islet of Bourtzi (short stop), through Argos. Continue on to Epidaurus and visit the ancient theatre. The UNESCO’S world heritage listed monument is reputed to be the birthplace of Apollo’s son Asklepios, the healer, and was the most celebrated healing center of the classical world. Epidaurus is probably most famous for its theatre, one of the best preserved classical Greek buildings and still used today due to its amazing acoustics. The Argolis day tour returns to Athens in the late afternoon leaving you with great memories.
