TUESDAY – NAFPLION
Drive the historic coast road to Corinth. On the left, as the Saronic Gulf comes into view, lies the Island of Salamis, scene of the greatest sea battle of ancient times. On the right pass Eluesis and Megara. Make a short stop at the Corinth Canal to view this engineering marvel. Originally the dream of the Roman emperors Caligula and Nero, the job proved too difficult even with the labor of hundreds of slaves. The project was resumed in the 19th century, and between 1881 and 1893 French engineers blasted through 285 feet of sheer rock to complete the canal. Continue to the beautiful Peloponnese and the ancient city of Mycenae, the center of one of Europe's earliest civilizations. According to legend, King Agamemnon led his Greek warriors from Mycenae to engage the Trojans in a war that lasted 10 years.
