Archaeological Site Mycenae
The archaeological site of Mycenae includes the fortified acropolis and the surrounding burial and residential areas, mainly located to the west and southwest of the Acropolis.

The massive Cyclopean walls surround the nearly triangular acropolis, accessible from the northwest through the famous Lion Gate, the symbol of the power of Mycenaean rulers. The gate is named after the two-facing lions carved in relief and placed in the relieving triangle above the door, a characteristic feature of Mycenaean architecture.

The Archaeological Museum displays sculptures and artifacts that showcase the region's history. Additionally, the Acrocorinth hill offers stunning views and is a popular destination for hiking.
Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal, or Isthmus of Corinth, is a narrow canal 6.4 km long that connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. It was constructed in 1893, saving ships about 200 nautical miles by avoiding the route around the Peloponnese. It is also a significant tourist attraction with steep sides reaching 80 meters high.
