Overnight The Seaside Town of Nafplio
Mycenae, Nemea, & A Farewell Celebration
Today, we journey to the legendary city of Mycenae, the fabled home of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra. It was here that archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann believed he had uncovered the famous “Mask of Agamemnon,” a discovery that captivated the world. Our route takes us through rolling hills and valleys shimmering with ancient olive groves, leading us to this remarkable archaeological site. Once there, we’ll explore its awe-inspiring beehive tombs, imposing cyclopean walls, and the on-site museum, where Mycenae’s fascinating history comes to life.
Next, we travel to Nemea, a site rich in both mythology and history—this is where Hercules famously completed one of his twelve labors by slaying the Nemean Lion. Once the setting for athletic competitions that rivaled those at Olympia, the ancient stadium and ruins offer a glimpse into Greece’s storied past.
Our journey continues with a visit to an award-winning winery, where we’ll indulge in a tasting of the region’s finest wines. A guided tour of the vineyards and a light lunch amidst the serene landscape make for a perfect afternoon.
Back in Nafplio, we’ll gather for a special farewell dinner, celebrating the unforgettable journey we’ve shared. Over a feast of local specialties and exceptional wines, we’ll raise a toast to new friendships, lasting memories, and the magic of Greece.
