Argolis is a small province of southern Greece with a long and glorious history, being a meeting place of some of the greatest civilizations in history. In this tour we will visit the three greatest monuments of the region. The first one is Palamidi, an imposing Venetian castle. Then there's Mycenae, a UNESCO world heritage site and the administrative center of the most powerful Bronze Age Greek kingdom. The tour could not be completed without a visit to Epidaurus, the celebrated healing center of Ancient Greece, dedicated to Asclepius, the god of Medicine in the ancient Greek religion. Last but not least is the Mycenaean Arkadiko Bridge, the oldest one that has been found in Europe. As someone who has studied history and archaeology, this tour is ideal for me, since it gives me the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and love for the long history of the region. As a professional photographer I can also help you to capture some breathtaking views, especially in Mycenae and Palamidi. Let the journey begin!
We begin by driving from Nafplio to Palamidi castle. We walk through visiting the chapel of Saint Andrew and the jail cell of the Greek revolutionary Theodoros Kolokotronis. You will also have some time to take photos, since the castle offers a breathtaking view of the sea. After Palamidi we head towards the archaeological site of Mycenae, which is about 15 minutes by car. We cross through the famous Lion Gate and we enter the citadel. Afterwards we pay a visit to the museum and the renowned Treasury of Atreus, the largest beehive tomb of this period. Afterwards we drive about 35 minutes in order to reach the village of Lygourio, where we can have a lunch. After the lunch we visit Epidaurus, which is located just five minutes from Lygourio. We pay a visit to the celebrated theater, the small museum and the archaeological site. From Epidaurus we drive back to Nafplio, making one last stop, to the Mycenaean Arkadiko Bridge The itinerary can be adapted to traveller's interests: please contact me
