Beskrivelse
Kære rejsende, velkommen til Athen! Flygt fra Athens og opdag Korinth, et land, hvor myter og historie mødes, kun en time væk. Begynd ved den betagende Korinthkanal, hvor Egeerhavet og Jonahavet forenes gennem en af verdens største ingeniørværker. For dem, der vælger kanalkrydstogt, sejler mellem dens store klipper er en engang i livet oplevelse. Fortsæt til Ancient Corinth, en gang en mægtig by, hvor templer, springvand og markeder blomstrede, og hvor apostlen Paulus brugte 18 måneder på at sprede sin lære. Akrocorinth fæstningen inviterer dig til at udforske en legendarisk fæstning knyttet til Pegasus, Medea, og tidløse græske myter! Undervejs kan du beundre Peloponnesos landskab, kystlinje og bjerge og nyde en traditionel frokost i den fredfyldte landsby Ancient Corinth. Denne tur kombinerer legende, historie og fantastiske landskaber til en uforglemmelig dag.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Efter din chauffør har hentet dig fra din bolig, følger en smuk naturskøn kystkørsel til Korinth, som er omkring 50 minutter. Når vi nærmer os det antikke Korinth, vil vi gøre et stop for at beundre dette vidunder af ingeniørkunst, Korinth-kanalen.
Efter den fantastiske udsigt over kanalen og på vej til det gamle Korinth vil vi tage til den vestlige indgang til kanalen for at se de berømte diolkos, bygget omkring 6. århundrede f.Kr. En gammel asfalteret bane, hvor de ville trække skibe fra den ene vandmasse til den anden. Et sandt vidunder af oldgræsk teknologi.
Den antikke by Korinth har en vigtig plads i græsk historie for sin strategiske beliggenhed, velstående handel og indflydelsesrige kultur. Beliggende mellem Det Ioniske Hav og Det Ægæiske Hav kontrollerede Korinth den smalle Isthmus, en vigtig handelsrute, der forbinder Middelhavet og Sortehavet og grundlaget for De Isthmianske Lege. Det havde en stærk militær tilstedeværelse som et strategisk sted for mange krige i løbet af sin gamle historie, og det oplevede en række politiske ændringer, der vekslede mellem perioder med uafhængighed, spartansk kontrol og dominans af andre regionale magter. Selv efter en periode med tilbagegang under den romerske erobring, bevarede den sin kulturelle betydning, indtil den gennemgik et betydeligt byfornyelsesprojekt iværksat af Julius Cæsar og senere afsluttet af kejser Augustus. Byen blev genopbygget med en romersk arkitektonisk stil, herunder templer, basilikaer og et forum. Det blev hovedstaden i den romerske provins Achaea og et travlt kosmopolitisk centrum.
Nu er det største slot i det sydlige Grækenland. Akropolis i Korinth, denne mægtige fæstning på 700 m over havets overflade, vil give dig en fantastisk udsigt over den korintiske og saroniske bugt, der er forbundet gennem kanalen.
Nu en dejlig græsk frokost i den rolige landsby Antikkens Korinth på en traditionel familie taverna og derefter køre tilbage til Athen.

Alexander was insightful and prompt. He set up the trip in a fun and efficient manner. Wonderful personality. Had lunch at a seaside restaurant.
Dear Kurt! Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the day and had a great time exploring Corinth with me. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I hope to welcome you again in the future for more exciting adventures! Have a safe trip back to the 10000 lakes! Warm regards to everyone! Mighty Ducks! Alexander Papageorgiou
excellent, very knowledgeable guide who made the best of fact that the Corinth Canal has been closed for maintenance longer than was expected so a cruise was not possible unfortunately Alexander gave us a very detailed and enjoyable guided tour that is highly recommended. From the Greek Mythology to the Roman Empire and the present day it is very enjoyable and a lot is covered in a relatively short period of time.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Although the Corinth Canal cruise was unavailable due to the extended maintenance closure, I’m very happy you still enjoyed the tour and the historical journey through Ancient Corinth and the region. It was a pleasure sharing the stories of Greek mythology, the Roman era, and modern Greece with you. Your recommendation and kind words are truly appreciated! Hope to see you again in the future for more adventures! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
We had an amazing day with Alexander! We saw the Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, the Acrocorinth, and ancient Mycenae. Alexander was an incredible tour guide, with vast knowledge on Ancient Greece and the sites. A truly enjoyable day! My reco, just do it!
Dear Jim! Thank you so much for your kind words and for recommending the tour to other travellers! It was a real pleasure sharing this day with you and exploring these incredible places together. I’m glad you enjoyed the stories and history along the way. Wishing you a wonderful rest of your trip—and hope to see you again for another adventure! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
This tour deserves a 5+ rating! Alexander provided an amazing tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Greece and all of the places that we visited. We couldn't transit the Corinth Canal due to repair work from landslides last year, but Alexander reached out to us before our trip and suggested that we add in a trip to ancient Mycenae instead. All of the sites were simply amazing. In ancient Corinth, Alexander arranged a private tour guide for us that covered the footsteps of Apostle Paul in Corinth. Kristina was also fantastic, and extremely knowledgeable. We stopped mid-day and had a wonderful meal right of the seashore. I can't say enough good things about this tour and Alexander. It was a terrific day!
Dear Jim! Thank you so much for this wonderful review—it truly means a lot. I’m really glad the adjustment to include Mycenae turned out great for you, sometimes the unexpected changes lead to the most memorable moments. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the experience in Ancient Corinth and the storytelling around Apostle Paul’s journey—Kristina will be very happy to know she made such an impression as well. And of course, a seaside meal is always a good idea in Greece! I’m grateful you trusted me with your day!Wishing you many more great adventures ahead and hope to see you again in the future! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
We had a fantastic day with Alexander who was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much information in a fun and enthusiastic way. We learned about the places visited and had a wonderful education on Greek mythology which Alexander brought alive! We were unable to take a cruise on the Corinth canal due to renovations taking place but Alexander ensured we saw the canal from the best viewpoints and had the chance to visit other interesting places. Ancient Corinth is not to be missed! We would highly recommend this tour - you will not regret a day spent in Alexander’s company - he also gave some great tips for the rest of our time in Athens.
Dear Lisa! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy you enjoyed the day and the stories—it was a pleasure sharing them with you. Wishing you an amazing rest of your time in Greece, and I hope to see you again one day! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou

Dear Debbie! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and recommending the tour to other travellers! It was a pleasure meeting you! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
This was such a fabulous tour. Alexander is such a good guide, very friendly, professional, helpful and very knowledgeable. We learnt such a lot about the area and Greece in general. The journey was comfortable and interesting and all of the stops were well worth seeing. The Corinth Canal is a must see sight and was on our bucket list! The Acrocorinth is a truly amazing fortress, we were lucky with the weather and saw some amazing views from the top. Alexander gave us plenty of time for breaks and to fully enjoy all of the sights. We would definitely use him again if we are back in Athens.
Dear Sandra! Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I’m so glad you enjoyed the day in Corinth! It was genuinely a pleasure spending the day with you! Happy and safe travels and I really hope to see you again next time you’re in Athens! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
Our guide was very knowledgeable, he made it an amazing day even though the sites were closed we didn’t feel like we missed anything. He stopped off at a great fish restaurant for lunch.

George was great, on time, knowledgeable, considerate and flexible. There was something happeningon on top of Acrocorinth, so we needed to rearrange certain stops and go back later. The content of the tour was exactly what we desired.

Our private tour to Corinth was superb. Our driver Socrates was flexible and provided very interesting information about Greece, its history and the sites we passed on the trip. Our boat cruise through the Corinth Canal was a highlight of the trip. Out private guide in of the Forum and museum in Corinth made the history of the city come alive. We highly recommend this tour!
