Cruzeiro pelo Canal de Corinto, Corinto Antigo e Acrocorinto
Descrição
Caros viajantes, bem-vindos a Atenas! Escape da agitação de Atenas e descubra Corinto, uma terra onde mito e história se encontram, a apenas uma hora de distância. Comece no admirável Canal de Corinto, onde os mares Egeu e Iônio se unem através de uma das maiores conquistas de engenharia do mundo. Para aqueles que escolhem a opção de cruzeiro do canal, a navegação entre seus penhascos elevados é uma experiência de uma vez na vida. Continuar para Corinto Antigo, uma vez uma cidade poderosa onde templos, fontes e mercados prosperaram, e onde o apóstolo Paulo passou 18 meses espalhando seus ensinamentos. Levantando-se acima, a fortaleza de Acrocorinto convida-o a explorar uma fortaleza lendária ligada a Pegasus, Medeia e mitos gregos atemporais! Ao longo do caminho, admire a paisagem, a costa e as montanhas do Peloponeso, e desfrute de um almoço tradicional na tranquila aldeia de Corinto Antigo. Este passeio combina lenda, história e paisagens deslumbrantes em um dia inesquecível.
Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Depois que seu motorista o pegar em sua acomodação, siga por um lindo passeio costeiro panorâmico até Corinto, que dura cerca de 50 minutos. Aproximando-se da Antiga Corinto, faremos uma parada para admirar esta maravilha da engenharia, o Canal de Corinto.
Após a vista incrível do canal e a caminho da antiga Corinto, seguiremos para a entrada oeste do canal para ver o famoso diolkos, construído por volta do século VI a.C. Uma antiga pista pavimentada onde eles transportavam navios de um corpo de água para o outro. Uma verdadeira maravilha da tecnologia grega antiga.
A antiga cidade de Corinto ocupa um lugar significativo na história grega por sua localização estratégica, comércio próspero e cultura influente. Situada entre o Mar Jônico e o Mar Egeu, Corinto controlava o estreito Istmo, uma importante rota comercial que conectava o Mediterrâneo e o Mar Negro e local de fundação dos Jogos Ístmicos. Teve uma forte presença militar como local estratégico para muitas guerras ao longo de sua história antiga e passou por uma série de mudanças políticas, alternando entre períodos de independência, controle espartano e dominação por outras potências regionais. Mesmo após um período de declínio durante a Conquista Romana, manteve sua importância cultural até passar por um significativo projeto de renovação urbana iniciado por Júlio César e posteriormente concluído pelo Imperador Augusto. A cidade foi reconstruída com um estilo arquitetônico romano, incluindo templos, basílicas e um fórum. Tornou-se a capital da província romana de Acaia e um movimentado centro cosmopolita.
Agora o maior castelo do sul da Grécia. A acrópole de Corinto, esta poderosa fortaleza a 700 m acima do nível do mar lhe dará uma vista deslumbrante do golfo de Corinto e Sarônico que são conectados pelo canal.
Agora, um agradável almoço grego na tranquila vila da Antiga Corinto, em uma tradicional taverna familiar, e depois voltamos para Atenas.

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
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.

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
Our private tour to Corinth was superb. Our driver Socrates was flexible and provided very interesting information about Greece, its history and the sites we passed on the trip. Our boat cruise through the Corinth Canal was a highlight of the trip. Out private guide in of the Forum and museum in Corinth made the history of the city come alive. We highly recommend this tour!
Dear Stephanie! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your private tour to Corinth and that the cruise through the Canal was such a highlight. Socrates is indeed a valued member of our team, and we’re glad his knowledge and flexibility made your day so memorable. We also appreciate your kind words about the local guide at Ancient Corinth — it’s always special when history truly comes alive. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure with Bucket List Tours! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
Alexander was amazing and really made this once in a lifetime experience. The weather started out rough and traffic was a bear but he told stories of greek mythology and how they all relate to each other and modern times. The Acropolis of Corinth and museum were so interesting and just the detail of carvings and history wal at own pace never rushed through anything. The canal was a wonder how they dug it out how the Germans tried to blow it up in WWII Boarding the boat cost 25EUR but we'll worth the experience, a don't miss
Dear Sandra! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and for your kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the day, the stories, and especially the Corinth Canal cruise — it’s such a unique experience. Despite the weather and traffic, your positive spirit made it a wonderful tour. I will always remember Danielle's run up to the Acropolis and waving at us from the top in a few minutes! Hope to see you again for another adventure! Warm regards, Alexander Papageorgiou
