Nafplion

Mycenae

This ancient hilltop valley city lies on the fertile Argolis plain in the Peloponnese. It has a rich cultural heritage due to this Bronze age acropolis being one of the greatest cities in the Mycenaen civilisation, which also helped archaeologists revise the early history of Greece.

Ermioni

Spetses Island

Accessible via a 24 hour water taxi, Spetses is a popular weekend island, filled with charming boutiques and beaches. The island, which was a trade island in medieval times, hosts elegant mansions that still stand tall. The Armata, a famed festival on the second weekend of September is an unmissable event, which peaks with the burning of a boat in commemoration of a naval battle between the Greek and the Turks.

Hydra Island

A Saronic island situated on the Aegean Sea, Hydra – or Hydrea in ancient times, due to its natural springs – has a picture perfect cobbled street town, known to be the exclusive escape for numerous artists, actors and writers.
