Journey along picturesque winding roads, passing typical Greek villages en route to two classical sites of the Peloponnese region.
The first is Epidaurus, known throughout the Hellenistic world for its unique medical facilities. Dedicated to Aesclepius, the god of healing, the city was focused on curative spas. While many are in ruins, the theatre is still renowned for its near-perfect acoustics and has hosted contemporary performances by artists such as the late Maria Callas.
Continue to ancient Mycenae, whose treasures were unearthed in 1874 by Heinrich Schliemann. Once inside the Lion Gate, explore the Royal Palace, the shaft graves and the remains of the city walls.
An archaeological briefing at the Treasury of Atreus, also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon, enhances your understanding of these sites before you return to Náfplion.
