A visit to the amazing Peloponnese peninsula is not just an opportunity to enjoy a scenic trip with breathtaking views, but also to experience culture-rich stops where you can expand your knowledge of Ancient Greek history and mythology.

Your local guide will pick you up from your hotel and you can enjoy the besutiful landscape on your way to the Peloponnese peninsula. The first stop will be the iconic Corinth Canal. Constructed in 1893, this colossal canal links the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, providing a route for massive cargo vessels.

Moving on from the Corinth Canal, past the gorgeous olive fields, is Ancient Corinth. Your visit to this archaeological site will be a significant opportunity to delve into history, as this is where St. Paul found inspiration to pen the First and Second Corinthians books for the New Testament. Ancient Corinth, with its rich heritage spanning nearly 5,000 years, is stunning at every turn. You’ll stop to pay homage to the Temple of Apollo, the most prominent monument in Ancient Corinth. The site’s magnificent acropolis is still considered a sacred complex that was once breathtaking. Though decades after decades later it has worn down due to natural disasters, it maintains a unique charm. And you won’t just find the views interesting during your stop at Corinth; the ancient region also challenges the likes of Ancient Athens and Sparta in cultural, political, and economic influences.

Next will be the highlight of the trip, the ancient city of Mycenae, featuring imposing ruins of the Mycenaean civilization. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Greek history at every turn in this city. To explore the grounds of Mycenae is like exploring a marvelous world of its own. Once home to the palace of a significant player in the Trojan War, Agamemnon, the site now features remnants of cisterns, buildings, tombs, and even the majestic palace of Agamemnon. Undoubtedly, it stands as one of Greece's most awe-inspiring historical sites, and you'll find centuries old structures standing grandly.

With an entire day dedicated to these two sites in Peloponnese, amongst a number of excursions in between to smaller scenic stops along the way, you’ll have plenty of time to explore ancient ruins to your heart’s content. Sit back and savor an incredible journey with your expert, local guide.
