The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea to the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, traversing the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. Spanning 6.4 kilometers (4 mi) in length and a mere 21.4 meters (70 ft) in width at its base, the canal, devoid of locks, was excavated at sea level. While offering no passage for many modern vessels due to its narrow width, it presents a breathtaking spectacle from elevated viewpoints. Behold the magnificent limestone walls as you gaze down upon the vessels navigating their way through the canal, capturing the essence of Corinth’s isthmus in its entirety.

The archaeological site of Mycenae encompasses the fortified acropolis along with surrounding funerary and habitation areas, predominantly situated to its west and southwest. The majority of the prominent structures visible today originate from the pinnacle of its prosperity, spanning from 1350 to 1200 BC. Magnificent Cyclopean walls encircle the nearly triangular acropolis, accessible from the northwest via the iconic Lion Gate—a potent symbol of Mycenaean authority. This gate owes its name to the striking relief carvings of two opposing lions, adorning the relieving triangle above the entrance, a hallmark characteristic of Mycenaean architectural prowess.

Indulge in leisure time for lunch, coffee, or shopping in the picturesque ‘Naples of the East,’ renowned for its Venetian architecture, charming cobbled squares, and imposing castles offering sweeping vistas of the Argolic Gulf. Afterward, relax by the harbor or wander through the vibrant alleyways of mainland Greece’s most elegant town. Nafplio, nestled on the hillsides near the northern tip of the Argolic Gulf, boasts a rich history as a significant seaport under various royal houses during the Middle Ages, initially held by the de la Roche family after the Fourth Crusade, then under the Republic of Venice, and finally, the Ottoman Empire. Serving as the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and the Kingdom of Greece from the onset of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834, Nafplio holds a special place in Greek history. Today, it stands as the capital of the Argolis regional unit, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its captivating blend of history, culture, and scenic…

Savor the enchanting vista of the water castle of Bourtzi, an iconic Venetian fortress nestled in the heart of Nafplio’s harbor. Capture captivating photographs from the harbor side, immortalizing the timeless beauty of this historic landmark against the backdrop of the shimmering waters.

Perched atop a 216-meter high hill east of the Acronauplia in Nafplio, Palamidi Fortress stands as a testament to Venetian ingenuity during their second occupation of the region from 1686 to 1715. Offering commanding views over the Argolic Gulf, the city of Náfplio, and the surrounding countryside, the fortress boasts a formidable presence. Accessible via a winding stairway comprising 913 steps from the town to the fortress, reaching the summit requires traversing over one thousand steps, although local lore in Nafplion insists there are precisely 999 steps to the castle’s zenith.
