Virtuoso Voyager Club Sailing Travel with Virtuoso and you'll see the world in an entirely new light
When you reserve this cruise through us, your Virtuoso Travel Specialist, you are automatically entitled to the prestigious Virtuoso Voyager Club
program, providing you to a wealth of privileges and complimentary amenities - including a unique and exclusive shore experience not available to the general cruising public.
The city-states of Greece led the world in art, philosophy, political culture, and science for hundreds of years before the advent of Christ. From the 5th to the 3rd centuries BC they reigned over antiquity's most glorious civilization. Agamemnon ruled a fortified city at Mycenae that was simply stunning (and is still today, even in ruin). Homer had long completed his epic poems and they were being shared with the world. Alexander the Great had conquered much of the Middle East and western Asia his skills at empire building were much envied, but not easily replicated. The Peloponnese was and is a veritable gold mine of advanced culture. Voyager Club members will revel in the riches of the Argolis district at Epidavros, Mycenae, Navplion, and Tiryns.
We'll depart from Navplion and drive inland to Epidavros. The great healer Asclepius changed the world at Epidavros in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. Some people believed that they were healed by visions of the physician in their dreams. The Sanctuary of Asclepius included a great central temple surrounded by colonnades. The sick and infirm would wait in the shadows of the colonnades to enter the temple. At the museum, you'll see inscriptions written on pieces of the original walls, which are believed to be actual prescriptions. The well-preserved amphitheater could hold 14,000 people and still is acoustically perfect.
Lunch will be served in Mycenae at a classic Greek taverna. We'll enjoy local specialties and fine wines and ouzo, of course. Afterwards, we'll wander the Royal Tombs of Agamemnon, pass the Lions Gate, and admire the Cyclopean Walls. Further afield, ancient Tiryns is set on a bluff in the center of a great plain. The impregnable fortress was built in the 8th century BC. It is a masterpiece of ancient military architecture.
Navplion occupies a rocky peninsula over the Gulf of Argos. It was the capital of the prefecture of Argolida in the ancient world. The Old Town bears the hallmarks of its conquerors: Byzantine, Franks, Venetians, and Turks. Mosques, cafes, and Turkish fountains delineate the exquisite Syntagma Square. Palamidi Fortress was the work of the Venetians. Its mighty ramparts rise above the city on a 700-foot cliff. The Basilica of Agios Spyridon was built in 1831 under the auspices of the city's first modern governor, Ioannis Capodistrias. It is elegant and quite lovely. We've reserved some time for shopping in the Old Town.
Approximate Length: Six hours.
Suggested Attire: Casual wear with a sun hat and comfortable shoes. Light to moderate walking.
