1ST DAY ITINERARY

The beautiful three days tour starts by driving via the coastal highway to Peloponnese. The first stop of the tour is the famous Canal of Corinth which connects the Ionian sea with the Aegean sea through the Isthmus, and a visit to ancient Corinth. In Ancient Corinth you will see the temple of Apollo, the Theater, the Roman Odeon, the Glauke fountain and the Archaeological Museum.

 After Ancient Corinth  we shall drive to Ancient Epidraurus. You’ll visit there the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus which was built in 4 B.C. very known in antiquity for the temple of Asklipios the god of medicine. The whole archaeological area is impressive, and you will admire the acoustics of this famous theater and also the museum. The theatre is used today by Greek actors who perform various ancient Greek plays.

After Epidauros we are going to Nafplio for your launch. Nafplio is a really romantic seaside town, the first capital of Greece until 1834. The old town has classic stonebuilt buildings and picturesque streets. You will have the chance to wonder around the old city and see the three highlights of Nauplio which are the three castles: Acronauplia, Palamidi and Bourtzi (a castle in the middle of the port).
