Our first destination is Mycenae, a legendary city that was once a major centre of power in ancient Greece.

Standing tall and mighty, these walls are a testament to the engineering prowess of the Mycenaean civilisation. As you trace the pathways alongside these imposing structures, you will feel a sense of awe and admiration for the strength and vision of those who built them.
Exploring further, you will come across the Royal Tombs of Mycenae, which are shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

Leaving behind the splendour of Mycenae, we venture onward to Epidaurus, a site renowned for its ancient theatre and the sanctuary of Asclepius, the god of healing. At the heart of Epidaurus lies its magnificent ancient theatre, famous for its exceptional acoustics and its ability to transport audiences to the golden age of Greek drama. Here, you will have the privilege of experiencing the theater's acoustic perfection first-hand, as you immerse yourself in the history and magic of this unparalleled performance space.
In addition to the theatre, Epidaurus is also home to the sanctuary of Asclepius, a sacred place where people sought healing and solace.

As the journey draws to a close, sit back, relax, and fully immerse yourself in the ancient past of Greece.
