Il Canale di Corinto collega il Golfo di Corinto nel Mar Ionio con il Golfo Saronico nel Mar Egeo. Taglia lo stretto istmo di Corinto e separa il Peloponneso dalla Grecia continentale, probabilmente rendendo la penisola un'isola. Il canale è stato scavato attraverso l'istmo a livello del mare e non ha chiuse. È lungo 6,4 chilometri (4 miglia) e largo solo 21,4 metri (70 piedi) alla sua base, rendendolo impraticabile per molte navi moderne. Dall'alto, puoi godere della migliore vista dell'istmo di Corinto e ammirare le ripide pareti calcaree mentre osservi le navi sottostanti che navigano attraverso il canale.
Corinto era una città-stato sull'istmo di Corinto, lo stretto tratto di terra che unisce il Peloponneso alla Grecia continentale, all'incirca a metà strada tra Atene e Sparta. La moderna città di Corinto si trova a circa 5 chilometri (3,1 miglia) a nord-est delle antiche rovine. Per i cristiani, Corinto è ben nota dalle due lettere di San Paolo nel Nuovo Testamento, Primo e Secondo Corinzi. Corinto è menzionata anche negli Atti degli Apostoli come parte dei viaggi missionari dell'Apostolo Paolo. Inoltre, il secondo libro della Descrizione della Grecia di Pausania è dedicato a Corinto. L'antica Corinto era una delle città più grandi e importanti della Grecia, con una popolazione di 90.000 abitanti nel 400 aC. I romani demolirono Corinto nel 146 a.C., costruirono al suo posto una nuova città nel 44 a.C. e in seguito ne fecero la capitale della provincia della Grecia.
Il Museo Archeologico dell'Antica Corinto è stato costruito tra il 1931 e il 1932, con l'intento di esporre i numerosi scavi archeologici recenti. Il museo si trova all'interno del sito archeologico dell'antica Corinto, in Grecia, e si trova sotto la giurisdizione della 37a Eforeia del Servizio Archeologico Greco. Gli aspetti chiave del sito archeologico dell'antica Corinto includono: • Sorgente di Hadgimoustafa • Lechaion Road • Basilica • Fontana di Peirene • Stoà • Agorà • Odien • Altri templi • Teatro
Il Tempio di Apollo a Corinto fu costruito nel 550 a.C.
Acrocorinto, "Corinto Superiore", l'acropoli dell'antica Corinto, è una roccia monolitica che sovrasta l'antica città di Corinto, in Grecia. Con il suo approvvigionamento idrico sicuro, la fortezza di Acrocorinth fu ripetutamente utilizzata come ultima linea di difesa nel sud della Grecia perché comandava l'istmo di Corinto, respingendo i nemici dall'ingresso via terra nella penisola del Peloponneso.

Our guide was Panos and he filled our day with fun facts as well as historical information about the region and its people. He shared some interesting insights about the Apostle Paul’s journey that was amazing. We had such a wonderful time.
It was a wonderful day outside the city of Athens. Corinth is beautiful and the ancient city was fabulous to visit. The trip to the canal and fortress were also an added bonus.

We had a great day out with Michael, our driver and Tour guide for the day. The canal was very interesting and worth a visit and Ancient Corinth has some amazing archaeological ruins. Just note that if going up the entire site, tennis shoes or shoes with very good grip are highly recommended as many of the stones are marble and you travel up fairly steep terrain. We had lunch at a restaurant right by the site and we’re treated wonderfully by the staff and had a great view!

We started in Athens with a stop at the Parliament House, Acropolis, and the Olympic stadium then off to Corinth. On the way to Corinth we stopped by the canal to see the work that had been done there to connect the 2 bodies of water. Also we visited some of the historic places where the Apostle Paul would have walked. The Acropolis (castle) and the ancient city ruins where he would have preached. Our tour guide, George, was very knowledgeable about the city and history surrounding Greece and about Paul as well.

Dispute rainy weather we learned a great deal on our tour with Notis. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Ancient Corinth and of ancient Greece as well as a strong understanding of the links between Greek and English. The museum was well appointed but due to the weather our walking tour of the Corinth Agora and the Temple of Apollo was cut short. We went up to Acrocorinth and spent a bit of time exploring the original Corinth Acropolis but again the weather cut the walk short so we did not go up to the Temple of Aphrodite. Luckily our tour began with the Corinth Canal and we had a chance to take photos while it was still sunny. I would highly recommend a tour with Notis. He is knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

It wasn't going great at first because I think my family thought that our driver was supposed to be a guide and he didn't have a lot of information on Corinth or the areas we were trying to visit but he was flexible because he ended up taking us to Acropolis and the Pantheon which was not on our route so we ended up having a great time, the vehicle was awesome!
Thank you very much for your kind review and for sharing your experience with us! We’re really happy to hear that, despite the initial confusion, you ended up having a great time and enjoyed both the flexibility of your driver and the comfort of the vehicle. We would like to clarify (for future travelers as well) that our drivers are not licensed tour guides. While they are knowledgeable and always happy to share general information, they are not able to provide in-depth historical guiding inside the archaeological sites. For guests who are looking for a more detailed and guided experience, we do offer the option to include a licensed tour guide who can accompany you at the sites. That said, we’re especially glad to hear that your driver was flexible and went the extra mile to adjust the itinerary and include additional highlights like the Acropolis, helping turn your day into a memorable experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future!
The day of the tour it was rainy and miserable. Not much can be done about that. The issue we had was with the guide. He was training someone that rode along with us and he was more concerned with the training than he was in guiding us. He spoke to us very little. This set the tone for the whole tour. We were very irritated with him and we could feel his annoyance with us. A pretty defensive man.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience in Corinth did not meet your expectations. While the weather is beyond our control, what you described does not reflect the standard of service we aim to deliver. As part of our usual practice, we always ask our guests for permission before including a trainee on a tour. In this case, we did ask, and you kindly agreed to have the trainee join. That said, this should never impact the quality of your experience. The driver’s focus should have remained entirely on you, ensuring clear communication and an engaging atmosphere throughout the day. Your comments regarding limited interaction and the overall tone are taken seriously. At the same time, we would like to note that the driver assigned to your tour is a professional with many years of experience and consistently excellent feedback, and he did his best to answer all questions during the tour. We would also like to mention that, from the beginning of the day, your overall mood seemed affected—possibly due to the weather—and you did not even visited some sites included in the itinerary. We regret that you felt tension during the tour and that the overall experience was not as pleasant as expected. This is certainly not the impression we want to leave, and your feedback has been shared internally so we can review it with the driver. Thank you again for your comments—they are valuable in helping us improve. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet expectations.
Great experience. Spyros was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge. He kept us entertained for the whole day!
