The Ancient Greeks seemed to know that good psychological condition was beneficial to those suffering from mental and psychological illnesses. For this reason they encouraged patients to watch theatrical performances. Famous for its superb acoustics, the theater was built in the 4th century BC and had a capacity of about 12,000 spectators. People arrived from all over the Greek world in order to attend the religious events dedicated to Asclepius. The architect who designed and built the theater was one of the best architects in Greece.

Nafplio: Wine Paths of Argolis

Sat Sep 10 AM departure 5 Hours Moderate Dining | Essentials Collection | Sightseeing | Wine

The Peloponnese wine region is historically significant for the wine world. During the Venetian rule of the Middle Ages, sweet Malvasia wines began to be traded all over Europe, especially to big centers like London and Paris. The modern Peloponnese wine region is one of the most viticulturally productive areas in Greece. The millenary Greek wine tradition is present in Peloponnesian wines, where native grape varieties such as Agiorgitiko, Moschofilero, and Mavrodaphne are grown. The wines of the Peloponnese are complex and interesting, from fresh and minerally whites to full-bodied reds. The Peloponnese wine region is the largest vineyard area in Greece, representing around 31% of wine production in the country with eight main subregions. Today you will follow a wine path of Argolis by visiting 2 wineries, Gofas Winery and Semeli Estate. The Gofas family cultivates its own vineyards and has delivered wine from generation to generation. In 1959 the family decided to utilize the proprietary vineyard in the Κoutsi and Daphne areas. The first vinification was made in linen, in the wine press in the family home in Nemea with manual vinification means. In 1998 the young Constantine Gofas born and raised as a viticulturist took over the family business, giving it a new impetus to a steady upward course. The winery has been modernized with new machinery but managed to retain its family aura. In 2011 the winery relocated to Koutsi village in a privately owned vineyard next to the mythical river Asopos. After the visit and tasting, your tour will continue to Semeli Estate. Founded in 1979, Semeli is a leading Greek winery and one of the country’s most significant wine-related developments. With deep roots in time-honored traditions Semeli produces wines of exceptional quality. The sunny Mediterranean climate and the extraordinary terroir, combined with the expert craftsmanship of their winemakers and the successful blending of indigenous and international varieties, result in wines of distinct character that have earned the respect of experts and captured the hearts of wine lovers worldwide. At the end of the wine tasting enjoy a light lunch before returning to Napflio and the awaiting yacht.

Departing in your air-conditioned motorcoach, after a short drive you will arrive at the beautiful Plaka village, where you will board your private boat to Kalidon, or the Island of Spinalonga, at the entrance of the Bay of Elounda. The island of Spinalonga has a rich history dating back over 8 centuries. From the start of the Byzantine Empire in the early 13th century, it became a crucial outpost of the Venetian power base on Crete for the next 400 years, resulting in the huge fortifications that still dominate the landscape. The island fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1715, and from then until the turn of the 20th century, it was used as a leper colony, finally closing its doors when the last sufferer departed in the 1950s. Today, the unoccupied island with its fortifications is one of the main tourist attractions in Crete. Return to the Cretan shore and Plaka, where you will arrive at a seaside taverna well known by locals for its fresh fish and Greek cuisine. Relax in its lovely view overlooking the sea, and enjoy a glass of Raki and Greek snacks called mezzes. Following this refreshing interlude, you will be driven back to the Agios Nikolaos village where you will have free time for strolling around the picturesque village or you can return to the pier.

It remains a question why there were no people left in the village at the time of the eruption, as it was abandoned for reasons unknown. It is often said in a whimsical way that perhaps Akrotiri is really the lost city of Atlantis. Next, visit the Prehistoric Museum located in the town of Fira. In this remarkable museum, you will see an exhibition of artifacts and frescoes which were excavated from the archaeological site of Akrotiri, including the gold Ibix, one of the most famous recent discoveries of antiquities at Akrotiri.

Monemvasia, Concierge Collection: Castle & Liotrivi Olive Oil Factory

You will have a guided tour in the old olive mill and learn the traditional method of producing extra virgin olive oil. You will walk to the vineyards and the olive groves. In a patio area, an experienced cook will knead and bake traditional bread in a wood-oven.

Venice Orientation Lagoon Tour with Transfer to Airport

Wed Sep 28 AM departure 4.5 Hours Moderate Sightseeing | Essentials Collection

Disembark, meet your tour guide and drop off your luggage at their storage facility to start the tour. Venice is composed of more than 100 tiny islets, packed closely together around canals. Venice city is in a lagoon, protected from the sea by a long strip of land called the Lido. You will visit two islands—Murano and Burano. Nearly half of the lagoon’s islands are deserted but the main islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello are well worth a visit. In 1291, when furnaces were banned from Venice as a fire precaution, the manufacturers of fine glassware were transferred to Murano. Glassware was one of the few Venetian exports and as such, the secrets of this skillful craft were tightly guarded. Glassmaking was considered a privileged occupation, and glass artisans were allowed to marry into the nobility. Today, the Murano products of blown-glass mirrors, chandeliers, goblets, and intricate works of art are renowned worldwide. There will be time for a visit to one of the many workshops and for shopping. The island of Burano will be next. Brightly painted houses decorate this small and cheerful fishing village.
