You leave Athens with a low city hum behind, the Aegean glinting on the right as the coach slips toward the Peloponnese. The Corinth Canal appears like a deliberate cut through the land, its vertical walls drawing the sea inward, then the road opens to plains of olive and citrus. Each stop rearranges time: Bronze Age stone at Mycenae, Venetian roofs in Nafplio, and the acoustic clarity of Epidaurus that still surprises the ear.
