Peloponnese Historical Highlights from Athens
Pick up from your hotel in Athens early in the morning and drive along the scenic coastal road towards the magnificent Corinth Canal in the Peloponnese, the southern peninsula of Greece.
Leave the Isthmus area and continue to Ancient Corinth, where St. Paul lived for almost two years, making it a vital hub for missionary work.
Visit the church that contains the first letter written to the Corinthians in four languages: Greek, Arabic, French, and English.
Drive on to Mycenae, the golden city of King Agamemnon, who united all the Greek cities to fight for a common purpose against Troy.
Continue to Nafplion, the first modern capital of Greece from 1821 to 1834, and see the city's castle.
Try the famous Greek cuisine and enjoy a memorable lunch at a traditional restaurant in Nafplion.
Return to Athens.
