What to expect

Step into history with your professional and passionate guide as you explore the legendary city of Mycenae, a cornerstone of Greek civilization from 1600 BC to 1100 BC, and the breathtaking archaeological treasures of Epidaurus. Depart from the Key Tours office and travel along the stunning coastal National Highway, pausing for a brief stop at the strategically vital Corinth Canal, a marvel of engineering that connects the Aegean and Ionian seas. From there, venture into the historic region of Argolis, home to Homer’s fabled Golden Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Skip the lines and uncover the mysteries of Mycenae, once a powerful military stronghold and the heart of ancient Greek civilization. Walk through history as you visit iconic landmarks such as the Cyclopean Walls, the Lion’s Gate, the Royal Tombs of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, and the awe-inspiring Treasury of Atreus, a masterpiece of 14th-century BC architecture.

Continue to the picturesque seaport of Nauplia, the first capital of modern Greece. Marvel at the Venetian fortress of Palamidi and the fortified islet of Bourtzi, which appears like a gem in the heart of the bay. Enjoy a leisurely walking tour of this enchanting town before indulging in a seaside lunch with mesmerizing views of Bourtzi.

Your journey continues to the ancient site of Epidaurus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated as the birthplace of Apollo’s son, Asklepios, the legendary healer. Renowned as the most revered healing center of the classical world, Epidaurus is also home to its famous ancient theater. Marvel at this architectural masterpiece, one of the best-preserved classical Greek structures, still celebrated today for its extraordinary acoustics.
