Activity itinerary

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal is an artificial canal in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. At the Corinth Canal, you’ll have a short break to refresh and stretch your legs while taking in one of Greece’s most impressive engineering feats and enjoiyng the view of this remarkable man-made passage. From the viewpoint above, you can look down into the narrow canal carved through rock and take striking photos of the waters connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas. A refreshing pause and a great opportunity to capture a unique moment before the journey continues.

Archaeological Site Mycenae

Step into the heart of Homeric legend as you explore ancient Mycenae, the city once ruled by Agamemnon. Admire the sweeping mountain views, and the massive Cyclopean walls, walk through the iconic Lion Gate, and discover the grand “Treasure of Atreus,” a tholos tomb of breathtaking scale. Mycenae is not just a site. It is a journey into Greek mythology.

Archaeological Museum of Ancient Mycenae
