Escape the city and discover the rich history of Ancient Corinth on this private half-day tour from Athens. Combining breathtaking scenery, remarkable archaeological sites and biblical history, this personalised experience offers the perfect introduction to one of the most powerful city-states of the ancient world.
Travel in comfort along the scenic Saronic coastline, passing picturesque seaside villages and enjoying views towards the historic island of Salamis, the setting of the famous naval battle between the Greeks and Persians.
Your first stop is the impressive Corinth Canal, an engineering masterpiece completed in 1892. Walk across the pedestrian bridge for spectacular views of the narrow waterway linking the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs and separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese.
Continue to Ancient Corinth, where your included entrance ticket gives you access to one of Greece's most important archaeological sites. Explore the Roman Agora, admire the striking Temple of Apollo, one of the oldest Doric temples in Greece, and discover the city where St Paul preached Christianity and established one of the earliest Christian communities.
The tour concludes at Acrocorinth, the impressive hilltop fortress overlooking the ancient city. Take in sweeping views across the Corinthian Gulf, capture memorable photographs and appreciate why this strategic stronghold played such an important role throughout Greek, Roman and Byzantine history.
Before returning to Athens, you can choose to stop at a traditional Greek taverna to enjoy lunch overlooking the surrounding countryside (at your own expense).
