What makes BEST PRIVATE TOUR: Peloponnese Corinth Mycenae Nafplio Epidaurus a unique experience ?
At the time of your choice, your informative & professional Tour driver will be at your Hotel reception or other residence promptly to escort you on your tour to the Peloponnese.
Our first stop at the narrowing between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese is at the impressive Corinth canal. Finished in 1893 and one of the wonders of its time, learn all about its many interesting ill-fated and varied Histories, from ancient times to the present as you view the gentle flotillas of yachts traversing beneath its plunging cliff line.
After crossing into the Peloponnese, our first main stop explores the beautifully preserved remains of Ancient Corinth, one of Greece’s most powerful and influential city-states of Antiquity. Stroll through its streets, temples, markets, and fountains in the footsteps of the Classical Greeks, Ancient Romans & St. Paul before you. Refreshments & rest stops are also on hand at the local Cafes at its entrance if needed.
A small Museum in the Archaeological site with a limited but interesting collection of artifacts from the site.
Next we come to the imposing remains of Ancient Mycenae, one of the most important sites in the development of Ancient Greece. Not only central to the ‘Mycenaean period, from 1600 to 1100 BC which formed the first major widespread civilization in Europe at the time, but also home to the palace of the legendary Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks during the Trojan War. Passing through the 20-meter wide city walls, entering through the gigantic lion’s gate and exploring Agamemnon’s throne room and associated Toombs of the site with their huge construction is an amazing experience. Excavations of its various Toombs to date have uncovered over 15Kg of gold and other famous & priceless treasures, many of which you will see in its modern on-site museum including Agamemnon’s death mask.
The Museum is locaed within the main Archaeological site and we recommend visiting this first before exploring the main site becasue it provides very nice background information as well as many unique exhibits which help bring the life & times of the Ancient Myceneans to life.
Time for lunch after the activities of the morning, we arrive at one of the most beautiful towns in Greece, the historic port city of Nafplio by the sea. Nafplion has a definite artistic feel with enchanting narrow streets of Neoclassic & Venetian architecture, upmarket local craft & clothes shops. Its seafront is packed with cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes with views to the Venetian castle of Bourtzi in the bay. Time to wander its pretty streets, pick up a souvenir, or just relax over lunch.
The ruins of the Ancient Sanctuary of Asklepios form a part of the same site of the Ancient Theatre.
At the end of your day, you can relax and recharge in comfort as your driver returns you safely back to your Hotel or other destination.
After lunch we visit the UNESCO-listed Sanctuary of Asklepios, first healing centre of the Ancient World and where you will also find the impressive Theatre of Epidaurus, one of the most visited ancient sites in Greece. The temple and theatre date from the 4th century and feature masterpieces of classical Greek architecture. Join the other visitors who test its world-famous acoustics with a poem or a song before your return !
A small but focused Museum within the main Archaeological site containing many fascinating finds including written tablets describing the healing performed at the Asclepious which is an amazing insight into the main activity of this site thousands of years before.
