Afhentning fra Athen og en times kørsel for at nå vores første stop.
Korinth-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. 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. Fra højt oppe kan du nyde den bedste udsigt over Korinths landtange og beundre de stejle kalkstensvægge, mens du observerer fartøjerne under dig navigerer deres vej gennem kanalen.
Diolkos var en asfalteret sporvej nær Korinth i det antikke Grækenland, som gjorde det muligt at flytte både over land over Korinth-næsen. Genvejen gjorde det muligt for gamle fartøjer at undgå den lange og farlige jordomsejling af Peloponnes-halvøen. Diolkos hovedfunktion var overførsel af varer, selvom det i krigstid også blev et foretrukket middel til at fremskynde flådekampagner. Diolkos kombinerede de to principper for jernbanen og landtransport af skibe i en skala, der forblev unik i antikken.
I oldtiden var Kenchreai en af de to havne i den indre bystat Korinth. Mens Kenchreai betjente de østlige handelsruter via Den Saroniske Bugt, betjente Lechaion ved den Korintiske Bugt handelsruterne, der førte vestpå til Italien og resten af Europa. Beliggende på den østlige side af Isthmus of Corinth, sad Kenchreai ved et naturligt vejkryds for skibe, der ankommer fra øst og landtrafik på vej mod nord og syd mellem det centrale Grækenland og Peloponnes. Kristendommen ankom også til Kenchreai tidligt i religionens historie. Ifølge Apostelgerninger 18:18 stoppede apostlen Paulus ved Kenchreai under sin anden missionsrejse, hvor han fik klippet sit hår for at opfylde et løfte, sandsynligvis et nasiræerløfte. Paulus nævner stedet og en kvinde ved navn Føbe i den lokale forsamling i sit brev til romerne (Romerne 16:1).
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 at trænge ind ad landvejen til Peloponnes-halvøen.
Museet for det gamle Korinth blev bygget i 1932 for at huse de talrige genstande, der blev bragt frem i lyset af de arkæologiske udgravninger. Dens konstruktion blev foretaget af American School of Classical Studies, takket være en donation fra Ada Small Moore. Bygningen blev designet af Stuart Thompson efter den arkitektoniske model fra "Chicago-skolen". Vestfløjen blev tilføjet senere, i 1951. Museumsrum blev organiseret omkring to atrier, som giver bygningen en unik karakter.
Tid til en pause! Fri tid til at slentre blandt landsbyens butikker, hvor du kan forkæle dig selv og købe håndlavede souvenirs til din familie og venner. Du vil også have fri tid til at nyde en lækker autentisk græsk frokost på en lokal taverna.
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.
Vi starter vores vej tilbage til Athen.

This is a fantastic tour. George our guided was so knowledgeable, professional and kind. We had the perfect amount of time at each stop and ended the sightseeing with a wonderful lunch on the top of a mountain with the most beautiful view. We recommend this tour and George as our guide.

Fourth time taking a group on a tour in this region since 2015, and Nikos was my BEST guide! By FAR! Nikos was thorough in weaving his knowledge of ancient and church history while his explanations were interesting and informative!! He was kind and attentive and always adjusted to the needs of our Group! As I said above, I have taken three other Groups to the region, and Nikos brought us to every site as well as an interesting spots I had never seen! He communicated each site in sufficient detail, preparing our minds for the stop. He was a BRILLIANT guide.

George was our guide and he was amazing! Brought us kouliri to try. Had cold water and umbrella (do rain and sun) and threw in little surprises along the way. This was my favorite thing we did in Athens!

Very nice pace to the tour. Beware of the acrocorinth path, it is worn stones and slippery. The food at the restaurant that is at the starring point of the path is very good. George was very informative even though he was not an 'official' tour guide. Worth the time and money

We (3 couples) spent a lovely day with LS Tours and our driver, Bill, exploring Corinth. For me specifically, after traveling for the past month and many, many Viators later, I would have to say that our day in Corinth was one of my favorites. I enjoyed walking around these ancient ruins because, for me, it was easier to visualize life 2000+ years ago without seeing a new, modern city in the background. Bill, our driver, was knowledgeable about the Apostle Paul's time in Corinth and we enjoyed walking in Paul's footsteps! I would definitely recommend this tour. Corinth is beautiful!

We had a great trip with George Remoundos! We saw many spectacular sites and he provided a lot of helpful information. We went with a large family including 2 kids and he made the trip comfortable for all of us. I highly recommend this tour!

This was an excellent tour. I was reluctant because I was originally scheduled for a group tour and they cancelled us twice. But George was very knowledgeable. And I felt the private tour allowed for more personal input on where you spend most of your tour. Though I am over the company, George helped make it better. And I won’t give him a low rating because of the poor experience with Viator.

Our tour guide George was a real professional - friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable! The trip to Corinth was very enjoyable. We got to see the Corinth canal, the port where the Apostle Paul arrived in Corinth, the road Paul walked to ancient Corinth and the Corinth museum. We also hiked up (well my partner did!) to the top of the Corinth Acropolis with a spectacular view. We then had lunch right near by.
