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~

The Ancient Theater of Epidaurus is an ancient theater with a history of more than 2,500 years. It is very large in scale. From the ruins, we can see that the performance hall at that time could accommodate about several thousand people to watch the performance at the same time, which was really unimaginable in ancient times.

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