Yesterday we took a charter bus on a full day excursion to Mycenae and Nafplion. On our way we stopped at the Canal of Corinth that separates the main land from the Peloponnese. Mycenae, is an ancient stone citadel so large that the Greeks though it must have been built by giants calling the walls “cyclopean”. After a trip up and around the ancient palace complex and a view of the surrounding valley we visited the treasury of Atreus, a beehive shape underground tomb around 3 millennia years old. Our next stop was Nafplion, a coastal town in the Peloponnese surrounded on three sides by water. We took a dip in the crystal blue Argolic Gulf and relaxed by the sea side. Then made our way to explore the quaint town of Nafplion where we ate dinner and desert!
