Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We beginnen met een rit langs de kust. Onderweg ziet u enkele Griekse kustdorpen en het eiland Salamis (waar de historische zeeslag plaatsvond tussen de Atheners en de Perzen). Onze eerste stop is het Kanaal van Korinthe. Geopend in 1892 om het schiereiland Peloponnesos van de rest van Griekenland te scheiden en de Saronische Golf met de Korinthische Zee te verbinden. Je hebt tijd om over een voetgangersbrug te lopen om het kanaal dichterbij te bewonderen, (als je wild bent) op sommige dagen is bungeejumpen een optie.
Het oude Korinthe, gelegen aan de voet van de heuvel, omvat de Romeinse Agora van Korinthe, de tempel van God Apollo en een klein museum. Afgezien van zijn archeologische en historische belang is het oude Korinthe ook een van de meest populaire religieuze bestemmingen in Griekenland, aangezien dit de plaats was waar de apostel Paulus het christendom predikte, werd beoordeeld door het tribunaal in de Agora en de best georganiseerde christelijke kerk van die periode oprichtte.
We bezoeken de Tempel van Apollo die zich in de in de oude stad Korinthe bevindt. De tempel van Apollo in Korinthe is een van de vroegste Dorische tempels op de Peloponnesos en het Griekse vasteland. Gebouwd rond 560 v.G.T., van lokale monolithische kalksteen bovenop een imposante, rotsachtige heuvel ten noorden van Acrocorinth, was de archaïsche tempel een embleem voor de Griekse stad Korinthe, die de groei en welvaart weerspiegelde.
Het oude Korinthe wordt gedomineerd door de heuvel van Acrocorinth, het oudste en grootste kasteel in Zuid-Griekenland. We zullen een korte fotostop maken bij het imposante fort.
We rijden terug naar Athene.

It was an amazing experience with Theodore! He was absolutely amazing. He was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and just honestly a delight. He called ahead to coordinate all of our stops to make great use of our time. Despite the fact that it was a national holiday and we went significantly over the budgeted time for the tour, Theodore said "don't worry about time. You're on your vacation - make memories." And we did! Corinth was awesome. Do not miss. The olive tasting was fascinating and lunch was very fun. Getting out of the city to see the views is not to be missed. We had a fabulous time.- can't imagine coming to Athens and missing this experience. Great driver and great tour. I'd highly recommend.
Our tour of ancient Corinth, Corinth Canal, and the olive grove was outstanding! It was lovely to get out of Athens and see some of the countryside, and to receive insights from our very knowledgeable driver. Nikos was an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge, everything from history to archeology to fun facts, and on top of all that, he was just a really nice guy! Touring the olive oil production facility was very informative, with a lovely guide, and the tasting was perfectly executed. As well, they had a fantastic shop where many olive oil products could be purchased. My husband and I felt that this tour was a real highlight on our trip, and highly recommend it.
We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable experience exploring ancient Corinth and the countryside with Nikos. Thank you for sharing your kind words and recommending the tour. We hope to see you again!
We had an excellent experience. The Corinth Canal, Olive Oil tasting , ancient Corinth, excellent lunch at a quaint local spot and so much more! There are not enough words to tell how excellent our guide, Andreas, was! We felt like we had made a wonderful friend and his love and knowledge for his country is so evident! Thank you Andreas for both of our tours and your excellent guidance!

It was a very good experience, the olive tasting was fantastic. Theodore was very knowledgeable and professional. I've learned a lot.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the olive tasting and found Theodore's knowledge helpful. We hope to welcome you back for more learning and wonderful moments in the future!
We booked a private day tour to Corinth, including an stop at the canal, a fortress, and a local Olive Oil Company. We were picked up promptly at our flat in a clean vehicle with a friendly welcoming smile. Alex was such a pleasure to spend the day with. We discussed Greek politics, economy, history, and language. He was engaging and happy to have genuine and honest conversation no matter what our questions. A wealth of knowledge and a kind demeanor. We will happily book with him again when we return to spend more time exploring the region. The cost is worth the experience and benefits to not have to wait for bus loads of strangers and traffic. It truly felt like we were just on the road hanging out with a local friend. We were even able to stop by a small local market on the way to pickup some regional fruit.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled Alex made your day so memorable and personal. It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed the tour and the local touches along the way.
We all had such a great time on this tour! Our driver Terry was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He was very accommodating with time and other stops we were interested in making. The olive oil tasting was so nice, and the facility is beautiful! Olives were out of season when we went, so there was no fruit on the trees. I can only imagine how amazing this tour would be when they are in season!
All we in Olive Sea Travel thank you for the kind review! Terry, as all our drivers, always tries to make your holidays a unique experience customized on your needs! We will gladly provide you with our personalized services again. Kind regards, Alexander Petronikolos
I was curious to know what this tour would bring that’s why I have included this in my itinerary. I wasn’t wrong because it I didn’t expect to enjoy this tour very well. Thanks to our tour guide Alexander, he drove me to the location with so much enthusiasm and excitement. He always put smile on his face which makes the tour more friendly and enjoyable. He even gave me a free Fredo coffee because he knows I like it. Alexander is the best tour guide that I knew of. He knows so much about the rich history of Greece. He guided me on how to go to places and recommended sites where I can shop and dine. We went to the Canal first which has nice stories into it. The view from the bridge was magnificent. Alexander mentioned that some people does jump from it as a sport. Well that was nerve wracking! Then, to the olive oil tour. It was a different experience than I expected because the 4th generation owner (Nikkos) who was on site, let’s you witness the entire process from the cultivation, to harvesting to smashing and filtering process plus a virtual tour for that extra unique experience. Everything were well explained and questions were all answered. I recommend this tour most especially for olives and olive oil lovers. There is an olive oil tasting included which I think was a fantastic part it. They also have the bottles ready for purchases if you wish so. I recommend this tour!
