Itinéraire
Notre premier arrêt est à l'impressionnant canal de Corinthe pendant que votre chauffeur décrit ses nombreuses histoires intéressantes, malheureuses et variées, de l'Antiquité à nos jours. Le canal de Corinthe relie le golfe de Corinthe dans la mer Ionienne au golfe Saronique dans la mer Égée. Il traverse l'étroit isthme de Corinthe et sépare le Péloponnèse du continent grec, faisant sans doute de la péninsule une île. Le canal a été creusé à travers l'isthme au niveau de la mer et ne possède pas d'écluses. Il mesure 6,4 kilomètres (4 miles) de long et seulement 21,4 mètres (70 pieds) de large à sa base, ce qui le rend impraticable pour de nombreux navires modernes. D'en haut, vous pouvez profiter de la meilleure vue sur l'isthme de Corinthe et admirer les parois calcaires abruptes tout en observant les navires en contrebas naviguer dans le canal.
Ici, vous pouvez visiter le site archéologique et le musée de l'ancienne Corinthe, l'une des villes les plus importantes de la Grèce antique. Ici, vous avez une heure pour explorer le temple d'Apollon, le temple d'Octavie, les thermes, la Béma où saint Paul s'adressa aux Corinthiens, le complexe de la fontaine de Pirine, le théâtre, l'odéon romain... A l'intérieur du site archéologique, vous pouvez également visiter le musée avec des expositions de la région.
Le musée archéologique de l'ancienne Corinthe a été construit entre 1931 et 1932, dans le but d'exposer les nombreuses fouilles archéologiques récentes. Le musée est situé dans le site archéologique de l'ancienne Corinthe, en Grèce, et relève de la juridiction de la 37e Ephoreia du service archéologique grec. Les principaux aspects du site archéologique de l'ancienne Corinthe comprennent : • La source d'Hadgimoustafa • La route de Lechaion • La basilique • La fontaine de Peirene • La stoa • L'agora • L'Odien • D'autres temples • Le théâtre
Le temple d'Apollon à Corinthe a été construit en 550 av. J.-C.
Dernier arrêt : l'Acropole de l'ancienne Corinthe, appelée Acrokorinthos, un rocher monolithique qui a été occupé en permanence depuis l'époque archaïque jusqu'au début du 19e siècle. Vous aurez une heure pour visiter le château. Vous profiterez d'une vue imprenable à 575 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer et explorerez les trois portes du château, les sources du Haut-Pirene, le temple d'Aphrodite qui a été christianisé en tant qu'église au sommet...

This was a fantastic trip. Miltos was an excellent guide and driver. Would recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in history.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and that Miltos made your experience so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! 😊
Excellent excursion with Nikos at the wheel! From the moment he picked us up, Nikos was incredibly hospitable. Throughout our journey, he shared interesting insights about Athens, Greece, and the places we were visiting, adding so much to the overall experience. The vehicle was comfortable, and Nikos kept the ride enjoyable with great music, easy conversation, and plenty of laughs along the way. The Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth absolutely did not disappoint! Being able to physically stand in these historic locations was mind-blowing. If we could change one thing, we might have allowed ourselves a little more time at Ancient Corinth—there is simply so much history and information to take in. But that is certainly not a complaint; we thoroughly enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. I already can’t wait to visit Athens again, and when we do, we would absolutely call upon Nikos and his crew. Don’t hesitate—book your transport and enjoy the journey!
Thank you so much for your amazing and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with Nikos. His hospitality, local knowledge, and friendly personality truly make every journey special, and we're delighted that you enjoyed the comfortable ride, great conversation, and music along the way. It's wonderful to know that the Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth left such a lasting impression. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to us. We'll be sure to share your lovely comments with Nikos and the team. We can't wait to welcome you back to Athens and look forward to showing you even more of Greece on your next visit!
Yiannis was prompt for pickup at our chosen location. He was friendly and informative. He tailored our experience to our preferences. He was flexible and enhanced our knowledge of Corinth, Ancient Corinth and the Corinth Canal. Would definitely tour with him again in the future. When we were done, he allowed us to choose our drop off location. It was a great half day tour! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the flexibility to tailor the experience to your preferences. Your kind words mean a lot, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Greece in the future for another memorable tour. Safe travels, and thank you again!
We were picked up at the cruise ship terminal and then dropped at a hotel near the airport which was perfect. It took about 1 hour 10 minutes to get to the Corinth Canal. Our guide/driver Nikos really knows all of Greece and its history. He gives a running commentary and could answer any question we asked. After seeing the canal, we went on to see the ruins of ancient Corinth. There are ruins of a temple and theater, but they have uncovered as much of them as some other sites. The archeological museum is well worth the 15 euro admission. It has some of the most complete statues, plaques, figurines etc. That we have seen. Then we went up to Acrocorinth which is a castle and acropolis above the museum. The site is 575 meters up a rough coblestone road. We made it half way in 93 degree heat. This still gave us fantastic views from the sea to the mountains. Nikos preps you on everything you will see and we were in a very comfortable van. This is a great tour for seeing something outside of Athens.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed visiting the Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, and Acrocorinth, and that Nikos's knowledge and commentary made your experience even more memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Greece for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, The Team
This is a wonderful tour away from the city. Yiannis was a great guide. The canal was spectacular and his stops were very good for snacks and restrooms. The old ruins were interesting but wish he had given us more direction there or could have accompanied us for more detail.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour, the canal, and Yiannis' guidance. We hope to welcome you again soon!
We were traveling for our honeymoon and were picked up by Yiannis for our drive into Corinth! We travelled with two others couples in a van, with great air conditioning! We had an amazing time. He made sure we had snacks and water during our trip and we saw all of the wonderful history Corinth has to offer. He shared historical facts and stories along the way. We even made a small stop on the way back to see a special underwater bridge. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to many others!
Thank you for choosing to celebrate your honeymoon with us! We're delighted to hear you had such a wonderful experience with Yiannis and enjoyed exploring Corinth. It means a lot that you appreciated the historical insights, the comfort of the journey, and the special stop along the way. We truly appreciate your recommendation and wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!
The tour was amazing! The car was very clean, and the driver was extremely knowledgeable about history! I recommend it 100%!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the clean vehicle and your driver's knowledge. Thank you for your recommendation!! We hope to welcome you back again soon!

it didn't happen, there was a mistake with the booking ,tried to rectify it but was completely ignored
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience. According to our records, your booking was confirmed for 3 July. On the scheduled day, we had arranged both the driver and the vehicle to pick you up for your tour. However, at the last minute, you informed us that you were not in Greece and that you would be arriving on 15 August. We showed you that your reservation had been made for 3 July. Unfortunately, this was not a case of confusing the date by one day, where we might have been able to accommodate you. Instead, the requested tour date was 43 days after the original booking date, which made it impossible to honor the reservation as booked or reschedule it at such short notice. We always do our best to assist our guests whenever possible, but in this case, we had already allocated our staff and vehicle based on the confirmed booking date. We appreciate your understanding and wish you all the best with your future travels.
Great half day trip, and made it back in plenty of time for a different half day trip for sunset at Cape Sounion (highly recommend!). The driver was very good and gave us some explanation as he dropped us off at each site.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the trip and that everything fit perfectly into your day. We appreciate your kind words about our driver and hope to welcome you again soon!
