Corinth's remains stand at the foot of the Acrocorintho Mountain. The Greek Temple here is one of the oldest remains in Greece having been built around 600 BC. Nearby we find the Roman Odeon and Theater. Next we venture to Mycenae, built in military fortifications and set in a boulder strewn ravine. The citadel here is dated 1200 BC or older ( no one knows for sure). Continue to one of Greece's little known treasures, Nauplion. A fairyland of neoclassic homes, streets, and Turkish fountains this will be our home for the evening. See the Turkish Mosque and visit and outdoor cafe in this charming village. A very special treat awaits us as we visit Nauplion City Hall for a meeting with the mayor and present a concerto to an audience of dignitaries and students. What great exposure for a promising young musician.

Day 7 Epidaurus. Enjoy another breakfast in the warm Greek air and depart for Epidaurus. This sanctuary of very old Greece, was a religious curiosity. Today we step into the jewel of Epidaurus, the Roman Theater. Its beauty is well preserved considering it was built over sixteen hundred years ago. It is interesting to note that a whisper from the orchestra can be heard from any of the 14,000 seats. Check it out! This marvel of engineering is still in use today. Perhaps one day you will return to perform here in front of an excited and amazed European audience! Return to Athens for dinner and overnight. Enjoy another warm Mediterranean evening stroll.

Board our cruise vessel at Paleon Faliron Pier at 8:30 a.m. and set sails for the beautiful islands of Aegina (famous for Pistachio Nuts), Poros (postcard harbor and towns) and, after lunch on board, we visit Hydra (an artist's delight with a charming waterfront and cafes).

It was the religious center of Ancient Greece (Cults thrived here) and it is well known that prophets determined the fate of many an ancient city here.
