Enter the Mycenean Citadel through the towering Lion's Gate to explore the remnants that dot the area, including the huge Cyclopean walls and buildings that date from 1350-1200 BCE.
Outside of the walls, don't miss the Tombs of Lions, Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, and the Treasury of Atrius.

The entire site was built to honor Asklepios, the God of Medicine, and the shrine to him is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
After jumping into the past, hop into a kayak in Nafplio, passing by the fort of Bourtzi that has stood since 1473, and going under the Old Town's first line cannons on your way to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Palamidi Fortress and past the Akronauplia Fortress.
