08:00–09:10 | From the city towards the Peloponnese

Departure from Athens. The route leaves the urban landscape behind and moves into open countryside. The drive acts as a transition — from modern city life to the historic heart of southern Greece.

09:10–10:00 | Corinth Canal

A short stop at one of Greece’s most striking engineering achievements. Visitors admire the sheer vertical cliffs, look down at the narrow waterway connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas, and take panoramic photos from above. A powerful visual start to the day.

10:00–11:15 | Through Argolis landscapes

Departure toward Mycenae. Rolling hills, olive groves, and distant mountains define the scenery.

11:15–13:30 | Mycenae

Exploration of one of the most important centers of the Mycenaean civilization. Guests walk through the iconic Lion Gate, stand beside the massive Cyclopean Walls, and explore the archaeological area linked to the legends of King Agamemnon. This is where myth and early history overlap, leaving a strong impression.

13:30–15:30 | Pause for lunch and rest

Free time for lunch at a local restaurant or café. A chance to slow down, relax, and reflect on the morning’s discoveries in a calm, authentic setting.

15:30–17:00 | The return journey

Departure from Mycenae and return to Athens.
