Things to do in Asklipiio

The real open-air ancient theater built nearly 2,500 years ago, with more than 30 rows of marble seats surrounding the central stage, looks like an open folding fan, very spectacular and beautiful. It can accommodate more than 10,000 people to enjoy the performance at the same time. It still has practical functions until now. If you stand in the center of the stage and shout, you can really hear it from the back row sitting high up. It's amazing. You have to admire the wisdom and creativity of the ancient Greeks.

The town is beautiful and it feels like the pace of life has slowed down.

The ancient city of Mycenae, located between Argos and Corinth in the northern Peloponnese peninsula of Greece, is a Bronze Age Aegean civilization site. Highlights: ① Lion Gate: The northwest entrance to the ancient city, built from massive stones weighing 120 tons. The lintel features a double lion relief, symbolizing royal power. It is one of the earliest examples of relief architecture in Europe, showcasing megalithic construction techniques. ② Gold Mask and Burial Site: The "Agamemnon Gold Mask" unearthed from pit burial site A, crafted using the hammered stone technique, reflects funerary culture.

In the Peloponnese region, on the top of a hill east of the town of Nafplio, stands the Palamidi Castle. This is a magnificent fortress built during the second occupation of the Republic of Venice. Following the steep marble path, we visited this typical Baroque fortress designed by engineers Giaxich and Lasalle. Although the sea breeze was blowing in our faces, the heat of the sun was still unbearable. At one point, we even suspected that we were asking for trouble. When we reached the seaside viewing platform, our vision suddenly widened. We could see the town of Nafplio at our feet, the undulating buildings, the ships dotted in the vast sea, the Bourz Castle like a giant in the sea, and the defensive walls of the fortress on the hillock were also clearly visible. The white clouds were lingering, and the starry sails were dotted. Such a dreamy sea view is really hard to come by~

Beautiful and magnificent. Wear comfortable shoes and take a hat. I wasn’t well prepared for the amount of walking.

We stopped in Zakynthos on our drive to Athens. The narrow, man-made canal, with its towering, steep cliffs, is visually stunning. Standing on the bridge, the cliffs appear nearly 100 meters high – truly breathtaking. We arrived late, so we missed the daytime blue-green waters, but the warm, dusky lights illuminating the banks and the long, narrow canal stretching into the distance created a captivating atmosphere. We were still awestruck by the magnificent sight. No need to take a special detour; a short stop off the highway is perfect for sightseeing and definitely worth stopping for.
