Crucero por el Canal de Corinto, Corinto Antiguo y Acrocorinto
Descripción
Estimados viajeros bienvenidos a Atenas! Escapa del bullicio de Atenas y descubre Corinto, una tierra donde el mito y la historia se encuentran, a solo una hora de distancia. Comience en el impresionante Canal de Corinto, donde los mares Egeo y Jónico se unen a través de una de las mayores hazañas de ingeniería del mundo. Para aquellos que eligen la opción de crucero por el canal, navegar entre sus imponentes acantilados es una experiencia única en la vida. Continúe hacia la Antigua Corinto, una vez una ciudad poderosa donde prosperaron templos, fuentes y mercados, y donde el Apóstol Pablo pasó 18 meses difundiendo sus enseñanzas. Elevándose por encima, la fortaleza del Acrocorinto le invita a explorar una fortaleza legendaria ligada a Pegaso, Medea y mitos griegos atemporales. En el camino, admire el campo, la costa y las montañas del Peloponeso, y disfrute de un almuerzo tradicional en el tranquilo pueblo de Ancient Corinth. Este tour combina leyenda, historia y paisajes impresionantes en un día inolvidable.

Itinerario
Después de que su conductor lo recoja en su alojamiento, seguirá un hermoso recorrido panorámico por la costa hasta Corinto, que dura aproximadamente 50 minutos. Al acercarnos a la antigua Corinto, haremos una parada para admirar esta maravilla de la ingeniería, el Canal de Corinto.
Después de la increíble vista del canal y de camino a la antigua Corinto, nos dirigiremos a la entrada oeste del canal para ver el famoso diolkos, construido alrededor del siglo VI a. C., una antigua vía pavimentada por donde se transportaban los barcos de un cuerpo de agua a otro. Una verdadera maravilla de la tecnología de la antigua Grecia.
La antigua ciudad de Corinto ocupa un lugar importante en la historia griega por su ubicación estratégica, su comercio próspero y su influyente cultura. Situada entre el mar Jónico y el mar Egeo, Corinto controlaba el estrecho istmo, una ruta comercial clave que conectaba el Mediterráneo con el mar Negro y lugar de fundación de los Juegos Ístmicos. Tuvo una fuerte presencia militar como ubicación estratégica para muchas guerras a lo largo de su historia antigua y experimentó una serie de cambios políticos, alternando entre períodos de independencia, control espartano y dominación por parte de otras potencias regionales. Incluso después de un período de decadencia durante la conquista romana, mantuvo su importancia cultural hasta que se sometió a un importante proyecto de renovación urbana iniciado por Julio César y más tarde completado por el emperador Augusto. La ciudad fue reconstruida con un estilo arquitectónico romano, que incluía templos, basílicas y un foro. Se convirtió en la capital de la provincia romana de Acaya y en un bullicioso centro cosmopolita.
Hoy en día, el castillo más grande del sur de Grecia. La acrópolis de Corinto, esta imponente fortaleza a 700 m sobre el nivel del mar, le ofrecerá una vista impresionante del golfo de Corinto y el golfo Sarónico, que están conectados a través del canal.
Ahora disfrutaremos de un agradable almuerzo griego en el tranquilo pueblo de la antigua Corinto en una taberna familiar tradicional y luego regresaremos a Atenas.

A memorable day in Corinth. Alex was a wealth of information; he provided tips and tricks for our entire stay. We learned a lot thanks to this passionate guide whom I highly recommend.
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!

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
Alexander is a very knowledgeable and helpful guide we had a brilliant day
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.
Dear Glenda! Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m very glad to hear that you had an amazing day in Corinth and that the experience felt complete despite the site closures. Creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences is always our priority, so it’s great to know you didn’t feel you missed anything — and that you enjoyed the lunch stop as well. I would be very happy to welcome you again for another tour in the future. Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
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.
Dear Andrew, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with George. He’s indeed a wonderful guide—knowledgeable, flexible, and always attentive to our guests’ needs. We are very glad the tour matched exactly what you were hoping for. We hope to see you again for another adventure with Bucket List Tours! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
