Ancient Ruins of Argolis & Corinthia

Explore the cradle of the Mycenaean civilization and the strategic commercial hub of Ancient Corinth. This collection features the UNESCO-listed citadel of Mycenae, home to the 13th-century BC Lion Gate and royal tholos tombs like that of Clytemnestra. Nearby, the monolithic rock of Acrocorinth rises 575 meters, preserving layers of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine fortifications. The list also includes the ruins of Ancient Corinth, known for its Archaic Temple of Apollo, and the medieval Kastro Agionori, which guarded the mountain passes between the Argolic and Corinthian plains.
