Grand Journey

Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greece&#39;s largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world&#39;s oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.

Nestled in Greece&#39;s scenic Peloponnese region, is the tranquil seaside town of Nafplion, where you can explore a rich tapestry of neoclassical architecture, ancient ruins, and crystal-clear waters of the Argolic Gulf. This small town at the top of the Argolic Gulf is considered one of the most beautiful and romantic towns in Greece and was the nation&#39;s first capital. Its charming old town will leave you in awe thanks to its traditional architecture, three castles and restaurants where you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine.

Explore the ancient city of Mycenae, home of the mythological conqueror of Troy, King Agamemnon. The history of Bronze Age Greece is shrouded in myth, none grander than that of the Trojan War. In his epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer described how a coalition of Greek city-states led by King Agamemnon destroyed the fabled city. Embark on a scenic 45-minute drive through a landscape of citrus groves and ancient sites until you reach Mycenae. Located on a hilltop dominating the surrounding plains, Mycenae reached its peak around 1350 BC, during a period of Greek history named after the city. Enter the citadel through the iconic Lion Gate. Admire the city walls, so impressive that ancient Greeks believed them to have been built by mythical one-eyed giants called Cyclops. See the beehive tomb, thought to belong to King Agamemnon himself, as well as the palace complex and other royal tombs. Conclude this informative experience with a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae, with its display of artifacts collected from the site. Take the 45-minutes drive back to the ship.

Ancient Mycenae

Nafplion is one of Greece&rsquo;s prettiest towns. The narrow streets of the old town are filled with elegant Venetian houses and gracious neoclassical mansions. The setting is dominated by the towering Palamidi Fortress. Setting out on foot directly from the pier, marvel at the beautiful buildings lining the port, before proceeding to the Kapodistriou Square and Park, dedicated to the memory of the first Governor of Greece. In the park with his beloved Palamidi in the background, is also the statue of Koloktronis, known as the Grand Old Man of the Morea, as he was the leader of the Greeks during the War of Independence. It was he who besieged the Turkish occupied Palamidi citadel for 15 months before it was finally surrendered back. Across the way you see the current Town Hall building, which was originally the very first High School of Greece. Continuing through the backstreets not normally frequented by visitors, you come upon the old Catholic Church and the 1702 Church of Agios Spyridon. You will reach the popular Constitution Square where the Archaeology Museum is located.&nbsp; It is housed in two floors of a Venetian mansion and exhibits findings of Neolithic, Classical, Hellinistic, and Roman periods. After your visit in the museum, you can either stay in town for independent exploration or walk with your guide back to the pier and your ship.

Wander through the grounds of the fortress and don&rsquo;t miss the photo opportunities from the top of the fortress. Continuing on and passing orange, lemon, and olive groves, you will arrive via a twisting road to Epidaurus. You will be amazed at the colors and beauty of Epidaurus, located on the cool slopes of a gorgeous, wooded valley. The founders of this site believed in the hidden virtues of plants and water and dedicated the area to Asclepius, the God of healing. It is said that Asclepius restored health to the sick and sometimes gave life to those that were dead. This sanctuary was once a flourishing spa with temples and therapeutic baths. Today, only the foundations are left of the buildings, with the exception of the world-famous Theatre of Epidaurus. Built in the 4th century BC, it boasts incredible acoustics with seating for 12,000 spectators.
