Via Lingua Corinth

Archaeology Tour

The area surrounding Corinth boasts a wealth of important archaeological sites. Our tour takes in Nemea, Mycenae and Nafplio.

Starting from the house in Vrahati, Ancient Nemea is a half-hour drive through countryside filled with grape vines and olive trees. The site is beautifully laid out and quite compact. We usually spend about ninety minutes here.

From Nemea, Mycenae is about twenty minutes' drive. It is one of the most significant and also extensive sites, and we recommend spending at least two hours here.

From Mycenae, we usually go straight to Nafplio, another twenty minutes' drive, but if you like, we can also visit Argos and Tiryns. Nafplio was the first capital of the modern Hellenic Republic after the revolution of 1821. After lunch here, enjoy a stroll through the quaint streets with their neoclassical architecture, take a boat out to the island fortress or climb up to the castle.

In the summer, we end the tour on the beach at Tolo, one of the finest sandy beaches in the area.
