Stop 1

The Corinth Canal is one of Greece’s most striking engineering marvels, a narrow waterway carved through sheer rock that links the Aegean Sea with the Ionian. Standing on the bridge above the canal, you can admire its dramatic, almost vertical walls rising over 70 meters, creating a breathtaking sight that feels both natural and monumental. Opened in the late 19th century, the canal transformed maritime travel, offering ships a faster and safer route. Today it remains a popular attraction, with visitors watching boats glide through the turquoise passage or even trying bungee jumping from its towering bridges. The Corinth Canal is a place where human ingenuity meets raw geological beauty—a must-see landmark for any traveler.

Ancient Corinth is a captivating destination where history and myth blend into a vivid landscape. At the foot of the impressive Acrocorinth, the ruins of this once-powerful city-state invite visitors to explore a place that once shaped the ancient world. The majestic Temple of Apollo, with its sturdy Doric columns, stands as a timeless symbol of Corinth’s former glory. Nearby, the Roman Agora, the Peirene Fountain, and remnants of stoas and marketplaces reveal a bustling center of trade and culture. Above it all rises Acrocorinth, a dramatic fortified hill offering sweeping views of the Corinthian and Saronic gulfs. A visit to Ancient Corinth is more than a walk among ruins—it is a journey through centuries of human creativity, resilience, and legend.

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is one of the most remarkable monuments of classical antiquity—an architectural masterpiece that beautifully unites art, design, and nature. Nestled among the lush, rolling hills of Argolis, it exudes a serene, almost magical atmosphere that makes visitors feel as though they are stepping back in time.
Built in the 4th century BC by the renowned architect Polykleitos the Younger, the theatre is famed for its extraordinary acoustics: even today, the slightest whisper from the stage can be heard clearly in the highest seats. Its perfect symmetry, elegant simplicity, and harmonious integration with the surrounding landscape make it one of the most iconic achievements of ancient Greek culture.

During the summer months, the theatre comes alive once more with performances of ancient drama, offering a unique experience where past and present meet under the starlit Argolic sky.

Nafplio is one of Greece’s most romantic towns, blending Venetian charm, elegant architecture, and stunning seaside views. Cobblestone streets, neoclassical mansions, and vibrant squares create an inviting atmosphere perfect for leisurely strolls. Overlooking the town, the majestic Palamidi Fortress offers panoramic views of the Argolic Gulf, while the scenic Bourtzi castle rises from the water like a fairy-tale fortress. Nafplio’s waterfront promenade, cozy cafés, and boutique shops add to its irresistible appeal. Rich in history yet full of modern elegance, Nafplio is a destination that captures both the heart and the imagination.
