We continue on to reach the ancient town of Corinth, the place where St. Paul lived and preached for two years.In ancient times Corinth was amongst the richest cities and this is quite evident by its remains, including the huge ancient agora ( market place) and Apollo’s Temple (6th C.B.C).
Afterwards, driving through small villages,plenty of olive trees,vineyards and orange fields, we arrive at Mycenae. Mycenae was the powerful centre of the second half of bronze Age (1600-1100BC), with its awesome Cyclopean walls, its unique Lion’s Gate, Agamemnon’s palace and the treasury of Atreus.
Leaving Mycenae we continue to Nauplion, a beautiful seaside town extremely picturesque for lunch break.
