DAY 1 ATHENS - ANCIENT CORINTH - MONEMVASIA

We depart from Syntagma Square in Athens at 8:00 am to visit Monemvasia, also called the ”Gibraltar of the East”. On our way to the amazing medieval castle city, we will make a stop at the Isthmus of Corinth where we will enjoy our coffee. Then, we visit Ancient Corinth, which was considered the famous worship center of the goddess Aphrodite and the Archaeological Museum as well as Acrocorinth, the acropolis of Corinth with the highly fortified castle. We arrive at the hotel, get settled and enjoy a magical evening in the fortress town of Monemvasia. Free time for relaxation or for walking in the narrow and paved streets which are suitable only for pedestrians.
DAY 2 MONEMVASIA - DIROS CAVES - MONEMVASIA

We take our tasteful breakfast at the hotel and we depart for the Caves of Diros, also called ”the gates of Hades”, perhaps the most important natural site in Greece and in their own way spectacular with the crystal-clear waterway of stalactites and stalagmites. The Paleolithic and Neolithic artifacts found here denote that the caves were one of the earliest inhabited places in Greece. We take the road back to the upper city of Monemvasia with the picturesque stone paths where we visit monuments from various phases of the city’s historic route until today. We will admire the temple of Saint Sophia, which is a faithful copy of St. Sophia of Constantinople, on a smaller scale. Afterward, we enjoy the magnificent view and we go downhill for the lower city of Monemvasia. We will admire the arches, landmarks of the medieval time still standing in many buildings and more than 40 churches in the lower city. Last but not least, we will also visit the home of one of the greatest Greek poets of Yiannis Ritsos.
DAY 3 MONEMVASIA - MYCENAE - ATHENS

We take our tasteful breakfast and we start our journey to the famous city of Mycenae, also called the “gold-rich” palatial center, the legendary capital of Atrides, a great contribution to the Greek culture. There, we will visit the royal tomb of Agamemnon, the Lion Gate and the Cyclopean walls. Finally, after admiring the great Mycenean civilization, we depart for the capital of Greece, Athens, where our journey comes to its end.
