Timeline

Isthmus of Corinth:
The Isthmus of Corinth is the narrow land bridge which connects the Peloponnese peninsula with the rest of the mainland of Greece, near the city of Corinth. The word “isthmus” comes from the Ancient Greek word for “neck” and refers to the narrowness of the land

The Corinth Canal separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. The first attempt to build a canal was carried out by the tyrant Periander in the 7th century BC

A very busy trading city known as “wealthy Corinth”, the reason was its strategic location. The city was protected by the fortress Acrocorinth which overlooked the main city area. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Ancient Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC

Mycenae – setting of the Homeric epics, became one of the first excavated sites in Greece when archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered several grave mounds in the 1870’s. He called the most impressive “The Tomb of Agamemnon,” because of the wealth of golden implements found inside

Nafplio: In the very heart of the city stands the Italianate Syntagma Square where you can admire important historic buildings and monuments.

The great theatre of Epidaurus:
Built in 340 BC for entertainment purposes for the patients of Asklipieio (hospital). It is one of the best preserved ancient theatres in the world!
