Itinerario
Dopo che il vostro autista vi avrà prelevati dal vostro alloggio, seguirà una splendida strada panoramica costiera fino a Corinto, che durerà circa 50 minuti. Avvicinandoci all'Antica Corinto, faremo una sosta per ammirare questa meraviglia dell'ingegneria, il Canale di Corinto.
Dopo la vista spettacolare del canale e sulla strada per l'antica Corinto ci dirigeremo all'entrata occidentale del canale per vedere il famoso diolkos, costruito intorno al VI secolo a.C. Un'antica pista pavimentata dove venivano trainate le navi da un corso d'acqua all'altro. Una vera meraviglia dell'antica tecnologia greca.
L'antica città di Corinto occupa un posto significativo nella storia greca per la sua posizione strategica, il commercio prospero e la cultura influente. Situata tra il Mar Ionio e il Mar Egeo, Corinto controllava lo stretto Istmo, una rotta commerciale chiave che collegava il Mediterraneo e il Mar Nero e sede di fondazione dei Giochi Istmici. Aveva una forte presenza militare come posizione strategica per molte guerre nel corso della sua antica storia e ha vissuto una serie di cambiamenti politici, alternando periodi di indipendenza, controllo spartano e dominazione da parte di altre potenze regionali. Anche dopo un periodo di declino durante la conquista romana, ha mantenuto la sua importanza culturale fino a quando non ha subito un significativo progetto di rinnovamento urbano avviato da Giulio Cesare e successivamente completato dall'imperatore Augusto. La città è stata ricostruita con uno stile architettonico romano, inclusi templi, basiliche e un foro. È diventata la capitale della provincia romana di Acaia e un vivace centro cosmopolita.
Ora il castello più grande della Grecia meridionale. L'acropoli di Corinto, questa possente fortezza a 700 m sopra il livello del mare vi regalerà una vista mozzafiato sul golfo di Corinto e Saronico che sono collegati attraverso il canale.
Ora un delizioso pranzo greco nel tranquillo villaggio dell'Antica Corinto, in una tradizionale taverna a conduzione familiare, per poi tornare ad Atene.

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
