Depart via the coastal national highway for the Corinth Canal, which connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea (short stop). After the Corinth Canal, you 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. Avoid and skip the lines to the archaeological site, home to the kingdom of mythical Agamemnon. You will see the Cyclopean Walls, the Lion's Gate, the Royal Tombs, including Clytemnestra's (Agamemnon's wife), and the Treasury of Atreus, a magnificent 14th-century B.C. structure.
Time will then be taken for a traditional Greek optional lunch at a nearby restaurant. Afterward, stop at the beautiful sea port of NAFPLION, the first capital of modern Greece with its Venetian fortress of Palamidi and the fortified islet of Bourtzi (short stop). 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. This was the most celebrated healing center of the classical world. Epidaurus is probably most famous for its Ancient Theatre, one of the best preserved classical Greek buildings, and still used today due to its amazing acoustics.
Your day trip ends back to Athens late in the afternoon.
