Itinerary
DAY1: ATHENS – CORINTH CANAL – ANCIENT CORINTH – EPIDAURUS - NAFPLIO
Our driver will pick you up from your hotel, and we'll start your Private Tour by moving west out of Athens, following the coastal road to Corinth.
The first stop will be the Isthmus of Corinth, where the Canal connecting the Saronic with the Corinthian Gulf will be seen. Very Impressive engineering at the end of the 19th century when the Canal was constructed, and it is 6,2 km long, 80 m high, and 25 m wide. Periandros first attempted to open a Canal there in the 6th century BC. Later, Roman Emperor Nero started the excavations again, an expensive project abandoned soon after his death. From the 6th century BC, a paved road called Diolkos was built following the landscape between the two gulfs from side to side so they could pull the ships over the land, avoiding the dangerous and long way around the Peloponnese.
The next stop will be at the Archaeological Site of Ancient Corinth, where we will visit the Museum and the Ancient Agora. At the Ancient Agora, we will see the Altar of the Apostle Paul, where he stood to address the Jews and residents of Ancient Corinth to convert them to Christianity.
The next stop will be at the Archaeological Site of Epidaurus, where you will visit the Museum, the famous Theatre with its incredible acoustic, and the archaeological site of Asclepιeion, an ancient hospital named after the god of medicine Asclepius.
The next stop will be Nafplio, the first Capital of Modern Greece, for a few years after Greece gained independence from the Ottoman Empire.
We can have lunch in the Old Town and visit the tourist area on the narrow streets of this traditional part of Nafplio. Stay overnight in Nafplio.
DAY 2: NAFPLIO – MYCENAE – ANCIENT OLYMPIA
The next day, we can visit the Palamidi Castle before we drive to the Archaeological site of Mycenae, where we will visit the Palace of Agamemnon, the Archaeological Museum, and the Treasure of Atreus. Our next stop will be the village of Olympia, where we will stay overnight.
DAY 3: ANCIENT OLYMPIA - ATHENS
The following morning, we will visit the archaeological site, the stadium where the ancient Olympic games were held, and the two museums on the site, the Archaeological Museum and the Olympic Museum. We can also visit the Technological Museum of Archimedes in the village of Olympia. After this visit, we can have lunch in Olympia, and later, we'll drive the scenic road over the mountain Mainalon, making our way back to Athens in the late afternoon.
