Athens
Pickup from your chosen Hotel, Airbnb or apartment in Athens
10 minutesCorinth Canal
Visit the Isthmus Canal, the gateway to the Peloponnesus. One of the most important projects of the 19th century, an Austrian Hungarian engineering masterpiece, playing a catalytic role for Mediterranean trade.
Visit the Information Centre at the Isthmus canal where you are introduced to 'Mythical Peloponnese'.
30 minutesArchaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae
The Mycenaean Archaeological Museum:
The most important Mycenaean artifacts from the late Bronze Age are exhibited here. You will be dazzled by the gold, grave goods, burial masks, jewellery, bronze weapons, worship idols and frescoes fragments.
30 minutesArchaeological Site Mycenae
Visit Mycenae Rich in Gold! King Agamemnon's mythical kingdom sung in Homer's epics. It is the most important and richest center of the late Bronze Age.
The Lions Gate: The main entrance of the Bronze age citadel of Mycenae erected during the 13th century BC is truly breathtaking
Grave Circles A and B: Royal cemeteries situated to the south of the Lions Gate and outside the Bronze Age citadel.
The Cyclopean Walls: The main characteristic of the Mycenaean walls is that they are made of huge limestone boulders. Only the mythical Cyclopes had the strength to move the enormous boulders that made up the walls of Mycenae and Tiryns.
The Royal Palace: Consisting of domestic apartments, the Throne Room Suite, the Grand Staircase, a collection of rooms for officers or palace officials and the Forecourt.
The tomb of Klytemnistra, the wife of King Agamemnon and leader of the Greeks during the Trojan War is a Mycenaean tholos (beehive) tomb that is truly remarkable.
1 hourCitadel and Treasury of Atreus
The Treasury of Atreus: Also known as the tomb of Agamemnon is an elaborate large tholos or beehive tomb constructed during the late Bronze Age around 1250 BC. Truly remarkable!
20 minutesNemea
A beautiful land of soft hills with endless vineyards and great wines.The 'California Napa Valley' of the Peloponnese is a popular day trip from Athens for every lover of antiquity. It is here where Hercules completed his first of 12 labours slaying the Nemean lion.Fewer places in Greece combine ancient Greek temples with what feels a lot like the Napa Valley of California. Nemea should be on the itinerary of every traveler to the Peloponnese.The Temple of Zeus / Jupiter: Dating around the 4th century BC, the center piece of the Macedonian building program was the temple of Nemean Zeus. Three columns of which have always stood since the time of the original construction are captivating . Zeus in Nemea is the god of shepherds reflecting the remarkable valley.
The Ancient baths: The Nemean baths are an athletic bathing house at the Panhellenic sanctuary of Nemea.
Returning to Athens we stop at Ancient Corinth for lunch
30 minutesAncient Nemea
The ancient stadium at Nemea constructed around 330BC has a track of 178 metres long with a stone water channel bordering it. The seating capacity was for approximately 40 000 visitors.
1.The Apodyterium: The Apodyterium is where athletes got undressed, oiled their skin and prepared for the games. The Ancient Stadium Crypt: Over 36 m. in length and for the most part in very good condition it is the entrance tunnel that makes the Nemean games unique. It is the passage through the tunnel, clad in chiton and with bare feet that effects the transformation of the participant from a modern to an ancient. The tunnel thus plays the critical role in the accomplishment of our goal to provide an opportunity for anyone and everyone to become an ancient Greek athlete. It is here we see ancient athletes names engraved on the walls together with dedications to the goddess of Victory, ΝΊΚΗ NIKE.
The stadium track and starting grid characterized by toe grooves cut into the stone block.
20 minutesKtima Palivou
The Wine Roads: Nemea a mythical land where Agiorgitiko wine is born.
Palivou winery: A certified organic winery, a multi generational wine making family with wines recognised amongst the best in Greece that can be found on wine lists throughout the country.
Here you can enjoy a fabulous wine tour and taste the award winning wines equal to what the ancients called 'Nectar for the Gods'
