We leave for the largest peninsula in Greece: the Peloponnese. Here we make a photo stop at the narrow, unique channel of Corinth, which connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth. Then we continue to Mycenae, the centre of the prosperous Hellenic culture. We see the Cyclopean walls and go through the famous Lion's Gate to the King's Tombs (discovered by Heinrich Schliemann). We continue our journey and head towards Epidaurus, the sanctuary of Asklepius (God of medicine). The ancient theatre, famous for its unique acoustics, is impressive here. Every summer it comes alive with performances of ancient tragedies and comedies. The cosy, historic town of Nafplion is of course also visited. It was the first capital of Greece freed from the Turks in the 19th century. Characteristic are the dominating Palamidi Castle with the famous staircase of 999 steps and the small "Bourtzi" castle, located in the bay in front of the town. The many small streets with countless shops and restaurants and the beautiful boulevard also make it a popular weekend destination for the Athenians.
