Rejseplan
Gå ombord i vores moderne bus med aircondition fra 4 centrale mødesteder og rejs til området Peloponnes. En times kørsel væk fra Athen, i området Peloponnes vil du kunne finde den berømte Korinth-kanal. Korinth-kanalen er en kanal, der forbinder Korinth-bugten med Den Saroniske Bugt i Det Ægæiske Hav. Den skærer gennem den smalle Korinth-næse og adskiller Peloponnes fra det græske fastland og gør dermed reelt den tidligere halvø til en ø. Kanalen hævede Piræus' status som en stor middelhavshavn. Et projekt, der strakte sig over mange århundreder, det blev udtænkt af en hersker i det antikke Korinth, påbegyndt af den romerske kejser Nero og afsluttet i det 19. århundrede af franskmændene. Skåret gennem fast klippe er kanalen mere end 6 km lang og 23 m bred, og dens lodrette sider hæver sig 90 m over vandet. Vi stopper ved kanalen i 45 min. Nær kanalen er der muligheder for forfriskninger, snacks og offentlige toiletter.
Derefter tager vi til Ancient Corith, en meget vigtig by i antikken og romersk tid. (30 min kørsel). Korinth, der er kendt for sin rigdom og arkitektur, var stedet for Grækenlands sidste kamp mod Rom. Efter nederlaget lavede romerne byen og genopbyggede den som en romersk bosættelse med teatre, et forum og kejserlige templer. Kun Apollos gamle tempel blev sparet. Korinth var hjemsted for den berømte Jason af Argonauterne, tyven af Golden Fleece, Pausanias, romersk rejsende, og St. Paul, der underviste evangeliet om Kristus her. Følg deres fodspor og genoplev fortiden med vores Virtual Reality-applikation, som du vil bruge i den arkeologiske hjemmeside, mens du lytter til den fascinerende historie med vores audioguide. Museet på stedet er også et must at besøge. Vi vil blive i Ancient Corinth i 3 timer. Der er også en nærliggende landsby til hurtig frokost eller snacks.
På vej tilbage til Athen kører vi ad den smukke kystvej, og vi stopper for at tage billeder af den gamle havn i Kechries. I oldtiden var Kenchreai en af de to havne i den indre bystat Korinth. Mens Kenchreai betjente de østlige handelsruter via Den Saroniske Bugt, tjente Lechaion ved den Korintiske Bugt handelsruterne, der førte vestpå til Italien og resten af Europa. (30 min kørsel). Vi stopper 10 min for billeder. Vi går tilbage til Athen for at komme fra borde med komfort i et af vores 4 afleveringssteder. (1 times kørsel).

This was a fantastic tour. It was significantly less to have the audio tour and earbuds at ancient Corinth, and we could go at our own pace. Our tour guide kept everyone on track at each of the 4 stops, and apart from the audio at the Corinth ruins, did keep us informed about what each site was about.
Thank you to Eva and Dimitri for the wonderful day of discovery. The stop at the canal was just perfect! Just the right duration, and it was truly impressive! I fell in love with ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth as well! The audio guide with the device allowing us to see the state of the places in the past is a wow! But the headphones worked less well. Bring your own (with a wire). Eva shared beautiful Very interesting information!
Well organized and executed tour. Mikhaila is good organizer and well versed in history of Greece. Well done !
The Google pin was in the wrong spot for pick up. Wife and I stood in spot for 45 minutes. Come to find out the pick up spot was in front of our hotel. Contacted visitor and they refused to refund money for their mistake.
I would never recommend booking a trip through this company. We (my pregnant wife and I) showed up to the pick up location, which they have listed as the 4th stop, 10 minutes early. At no point did we see a bus stop, nor did any tour guide get out of any bus to ask if we were there for this specific tour. You’d think, since we are tourist and English speaking, they would go above and beyond to make sure you get to where you need to go. We ended up waiting 20 minutes to call to then be told they had already picked up people from that spot and didn’t have time to turn around. They left us, tourists, in the middle of Athens! They I tried dealing with customer service, which is absolutely lacking, and they were no help at all and had to contact multiple people just to get my refund. They offered to book us the next day but that was the day we were leaving and then tried to offer us a tour that is completely different from what we wanted. I just wanted a simple refund because of all the hassle they put us through. After letting them know I will leave a review of my experience, I received an unprofessional and snarky response by the individual I tried working with from the tour company. We ended up taking a train to ancient Corinth ourselves and getting there and had a wonderful time, no thanks to this tour. I recommend you try doing the same, it is cheaper and you get more flexibility for what you want to do while there. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! They will leave you stranded and try to keep your money.
8 hours is NOT A HALF DAY! spent hours up a mountain and on a deserted beach, vtr guide device was a mobile, impossible to view in the sun.
It was everything they claimed it would be, the guide was helpful and informative, the driver drove safely, and they kept to the schedule. Note that Athens traffic makes timing somewhat uncertain. Our tour lasted seven hours from pickup to dropoff.
Excellent day. Just enough time at the canal. Better than other trips. Great guide, small group no thieves on the bus like the other two tours we did.
Nice tour, but a bit too long - planned to be there for 6 hours, but it took more than 8 which might cause some issues in case of other plans (luckily it did not affect us). The canal, actually, is not the most impressive thing, as the Corinth city is more impressive and the castle ruins at the top of the mountain are more impressive. Would suggest to have more time to check them and not visit the beach/ancient port site as it was not that impressive.
Beautiful excursion guide very helpful scenic route , to be recommended, considering that the total time exceeds the hours scheduled for traffic
