Embark on a unique experience that includes famous and secret ancient monuments, plus covers myths, religion and science from the time of Ancient Greece. For example, I'll contextualize you about the 1200 bc Trojan War that king Agamemnon partook in. Along the tour, we'll visit a Corinthian castle from 700 bc, see the Great Theatre of Epidaurus from 600bc, which is part of the Sanctuary of Asclepius and his student Hippocrates (an ancient holistic health centre). We'll also explore Acrocorinth, one of the most impressive fortresses in Greece, and Nafplio, one of the most beautiful and romantic cities all over the country. Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834. However, the town declined during the Roman times though flourished again during the Byzantine times. Frankish, Venetian and Turkish conquerors left their mark in Nafplio and strongly influenced its culture, architecture and traditions along the centuries.
·First, we will visit the Corinth Canal to take pictures and see the ancient path-canal Diolkos. ·Afterwards, we'll see the Acrocorinth castle from 700bc, which within it still contains the ruins of the temple of Aphrodite (5th-4th century BC), the spring of Ano Peirini, Christian churches, a Byzantine underground cistern, mosques and fountains. ·Next, we'll reach Mycenae, which originally meant 'Rich in Gold', the kingdom of the mythical Agamemnon. First sung by Homer in his epics, it's the most important and richest palatial from Greece's late Bronze Age. ·Afterwards, we'll have lunch in a seaside restaurant. ·We'll then head on to Naflpio, where we'll do a walking at the old city and visit its main castle. ·Our last visit will be to Sanctuary of Asklepios in Epidaurus, UNESCO World Heritage Site, that includes the great ancient Theater of Epidaurus as well as the temple of the Greek God of Medicine and first ever medical centre for psychotherapy and rejuvenation.
