An ancient Greek theater built in the third century.
Reviewed By Jellybellydancer - Burscough, United Kingdom
The Peloponnese is not short of magnificent ancient sites and the Theatre of Epidavros is up there with the best of them. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the best preserved ancient structures in existence and is a 'must-do' if you are in this part of the world. The scale of the amphitheatre, which seat up to 14,000 people, is awe-inspiring and it's perfectly true that you can hear a coin drop on the stage from the highest seat. We were treated to an impromptu performance by another visitor, obviously keen to test out this claim about the acoustics, and the applause from the back of the theatre resonated as clearly as that from the front. It is definitely worth climbing up to the top if you can, the steps are a little uneven in places but perfectly manageable. The views from the top are amazing.

As we had already tasted Domain Skouras wines, we had the curiosity to explore its roots. We booked online a wine tour that definitely exceeded any expectation nor can be compared with any previous wine tasting experience. Winery facilities are impressive, with major highlights the bottling line with a capacity of 3000 bottles per hour and the amazing one-thousand-barrel cellar! All wines are of top quality, proved by multiple awards and international recognition. Great hospitality by our tour guide, she offered us a lot of interesting facts and useful information for the place and the wines. We couldn’t leave without buying some bottles for our home. We loved it and will visit it again! Highly recommended!

Mycenae was the hub of a civilization that dominated the Greek world between 1600 and 1200 BC. It is located about 18 miles north of Nafplio. The archeological ruins consist of a walled city with the famous Lion Gate entrance, Grave Circle A and most impressive of all, the Treasury of Atreus, a huge domed tomb that is also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon. There is an entry fee of approximately 12 Euros for non-Euro nations visitors but it is well worth the visit.

A more perfect home for the superlative collections could not be found. Regarded as one of the best preserved Venetian buildings in the country, it served as the old Navy Arsenal. From the remote Mesolithic times onwards treasured finds are displayed. Excavations began at Franchthi Cave in 1967 and were anticipated to be only a short stop-gap, but what was found exceeded all expectations, comprising artefacts at the nexus of hunter-gatherer to settled lives. Bronze Age exhibits are marvellous and show a range of pottery, figurines and vessels. Mycenaean Palace culture from areas under its rule is fascinating and reflect the sophistication and trade links underway. Armour and other items from Dendra were another highlight.

Not to be missed. The history is highly interesting and the views are incredible. Give it two hours to fully explore the fortress, wear good walking shoes, and be prepared for some slopes and strenuous walking (in places) Bring water!
