“It was lovely to stop at Corinth and have the opportunity to walk on the bridge and stand above the canal and take pictures. We even saw a large going through which was very exciting! The ancient ruins of Mycanae were beautiful, set in gorgeous green countryside surrounded by mountains. Then at Nafplio we had the opportunity to walk around the town and waterside, beautiful Venetian influences in the buildings. We were able to sit and have lunch there.

Mycenae and Epidaurus are fascinating archaeological sites. I booked this trip mainly for Mycenae, but I think I ended up enjoying Epidaurus even more.
