Det gamle Korinth halvdags privat tur fra Athen
Beskrivelse
Denne tur begynder med en tur på Korinth-kanalen, som blev bygget i 1893 og stadig bruges i dag. Efter at have krydset kanalen kører vi videre mod det antikke Korinth, det er blevet anslået at det gamle Korinth holdt så mange som 100.000 indbyggere på én gang, men kun omkring 600 ruiner er tilbage. Korinth er en af de mest berømte og besøgte byer i Grækenland. Byen ligger i den sydvestlige del af Peloponnes omgivet af bjerge, der tager deres navn fra den antikke by. De mest berømte monumenter er: Apollontemplet, det romerske Odeon og det arkæologiske museum.

Rejseplan
Afhentning fra Athen og en times kørsel for at nå vores første stop.
Korinth-kanalen, et af de vigtigste projekter og ingeniørmesterværker fra det 19. århundrede, der spiller en katalytisk rolle for handelen i Middelhavet. Kanalen forbinder Korinth-bugten i Det Ioniske Hav med Den Saroniske Bugt i Det Ægæiske Hav. Den skærer gennem den smalle Korinth-næse og adskiller Peloponnes fra det græske fastland, hvilket formentlig gør halvøen til en ø. Kanalen blev gravet gennem landtangen ved havoverfladen og har ingen sluser. Den er 6,4 kilometer (4 mi) i længden og kun 21,4 meter (70 ft) bred ved sin base, hvilket gør den ufremkommelig for mange moderne skibe. Det er i øjeblikket af ringe økonomisk betydning ved at blive hovedsageligt en turistattraktion.
Korinth var en bystat på Isthmus of Corinth, den smalle strækning, der forbinder Peloponnes med det græske fastland, omtrent halvvejs mellem Athen og Sparta. Den moderne by Korinth ligger cirka 5 kilometer (3,1 mi) nordøst for de gamle ruiner. For kristne er Korinth velkendt fra Paulus' to breve i Det Nye Testamente, Første og Andet Korintherbrev. Korinth nævnes også i Apostlenes Gerninger som en del af Apostlen Paulus' missionsrejser. Derudover er den anden bog i Pausanias' Beskrivelse af Grækenland helliget Korinth. Antikkens Korinth var en af de største og vigtigste byer i Grækenland, med en befolkning på 90.000 i 400 f.Kr. Romerne nedrev Korinth i 146 f.Kr., byggede en ny by i stedet i 44 f.Kr. og gjorde den senere til Grækenlands provinshovedstad.
Det arkæologiske museum i det gamle Korinth blev bygget mellem 1931-1932 med intentioner om at vise de talrige nylige arkæologiske udgravninger. Museet er placeret inden for det arkæologiske område i det antikke Korinth og ligger under jurisdiktionen af den 37. Ephoreia af den græske arkæologiske tjeneste.
Akrokorinth eller "Øvre Korinth", akropolis i det gamle Korinth, er en monolitisk klippe, der fører tilsyn med den antikke by Korinth. Efter George Forrests vurdering, "Det er den mest imponerende af akropolis på det græske fastland". Med sin sikre vandforsyning blev Acrocorinths fæstning gentagne gange brugt som en sidste forsvarslinje i det sydlige Grækenland, fordi den beherskede Korinths landtange, og afviste fjender fra landvejen til Peloponnes-halvøen.
Vi starter vores vej tilbage til Athen. Rejsetiden er en time.

This tour was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth were so unique and beautiful with way less crowds than the Athenian Acropolis. Nikos was excellent and very flexible with timing - we brought our 2 little kids who took longer for stops and breaks etc and he was very accommodating and even had booster seats ready for us. The lunch spot Nikos picked for us was incredible with amazing views and the best food of the trip honestly, and the Acrocorinth hike was stunning and beautiful! I would definitely book again. Beautiful photos and memories made on this trip!

The day was so special. Are driver is very knowledgeable and very friendly and accommodating. George is incredibly helpful would recommend him to family and friends.
Was a wonderful experience with Driver George and guide Vera. Both very professional and knowledgeable. Made learning about Ancient Corinthia so fun.Also was able to climb the Acrocorinth , enjoy a family style meal and then see Canal of Corinthia where they used to have to manually drag the ships on land to the other end of the isthmas before the bridge. Highly recommend this tour with these incredible people.

Well, worth the one hour one way drive. Ancient Corinth is amazing and the crowds were minimal, especially compared to Athens. Yannis (sp) was prompt, pleasant, and knowledgable. He went over and above to accommodate us.
