.
The Athens and Peloponnese area bundle includes MP3 travel guides to the major tourist destinations of Athens and the Peloponnese (the peninsula of southern Greece). The Peloponnese joins mainland Greece at the isthmus of Corinth and the Rio- Antirrio Bridge. The interior is rocky, and the coastline is deeply indented as geographers say. The ancient city of Athens was built around the Acropolis; modern Athens, covers a much wider area. In ancient times, Theseus, an early king of Athens, united ten tribes to make the kingdom of Athens.
The Temple of Poseidon – according to legend, this is where King Aegeus watched in vain for his son’s return from Crete after defeating the Minotaur.
Olympia – known to be the site of the ancient Olympic Games.
Mycenae – during the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilisation and the military stronghold, which controlled most of southern Greece.
Epidaurus – the birthplace of Apollo’s son, Asclepius. Still a centre of healing.
The Dionysus and Atticus Theatres – ancient open-air theatres, dedicated respectively to the wine god Dionoysus and the wife of Herodus Atticus, a wealthy Athenian.
The Temple of Agora and Hephaestus – the best preserved ancient Greek temple.
