Korint kanalkryssning, antikens Korint & Akrokorint Privat tur
Beskrivning
Kära resenärer välkomna till Aten! Fly från Atens jäkt och upptäck Korint, ett land där myter och historia möts, bara en timme bort. Börja vid den imponerande Korintkanalen, där Egeiska havet och Joniska havet förenas genom en av världens största tekniska bedrifter. För dem som väljer kanalkryssningsalternativet är segling mellan dess höga klippor en unik upplevelse. Fortsätt till antikens Korint, en gång en mäktig stad där tempel, fontäner och marknadsplatser frodades, och där aposteln Paulus tillbringade 18 månader med att sprida sin lära. Fästningen Akrokorint höjer sig och bjuder in dig att utforska ett legendariskt fäste knutet till Pegasus, Medea och tidlösa grekiska myter! Längs vägen kan du beundra landsbygden, kusten och bergen på Peloponnesos och njuta av en traditionell lunch i den fridfulla byn Antika Korint. Denna tur kombinerar legend, historia och fantastiska landskap till en oförglömlig dag.

Resplan
Efter att din chaufför hämtat dig från ditt boende följer en vacker naturskön kustfärd till Korinth som är cirka 50 minuter. När vi närmar oss det antika Korinth kommer vi att göra ett stopp för att beundra detta tekniska underverk, Korintkanalen.
Efter den fantastiska utsikten över kanalen och på väg till antika Korinth kommer vi att bege oss till kanalens västra ingång för att se den berömda diolkos, byggd runt 600-talet f.Kr. En gammal asfalterad spårväg där de skulle frakta fartyg från den ena vattenmassan till den andra. Ett verkligt under av antik grekisk teknik.
Den antika staden Korint har en betydande plats i grekisk historia för sitt strategiska läge, välmående handel och inflytelserika kultur. Beläget mellan Joniska havet och Egeiska havet kontrollerade Korinth den smala näset, en viktig handelsväg som förbinder Medelhavet och Svarta havet och grundplatsen för Isthmian Games. Den hade en stark militär närvaro som en strategisk plats för många krig under sin antika historia och den upplevde en rad politiska förändringar, växlande mellan perioder av självständighet, spartansk kontroll och dominans av andra regionala makter. Även efter en period av nedgång under den romerska erövringen behöll den sin kulturella betydelse tills den genomgick ett betydande stadsförnyelseprojekt initierat av Julius Caesar och senare avslutat av kejsar Augustus. Staden byggdes om med en romersk arkitektonisk stil, inklusive tempel, basilikor och ett forum. Det blev huvudstad i den romerska provinsen Achaea och ett livligt kosmopolitiskt centrum.
Nu är det största slottet i södra Grekland. Akropolis i Korinth, denna mäktiga fästning på 700 meter över havet kommer att ge dig en fantastisk utsikt över de korintiska och saroniska viken som är förbundna genom kanalen.
Nu en trevlig grekisk lunch i den lugna byn antika Korinth på en traditionell familjetaverna och kör sedan tillbaka till Aten.

Alexander was insightful and prompt. He set up the trip in a fun and efficient manner. Wonderful personality. Had lunch at a seaside restaurant.
Dear Kurt! Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the day and had a great time exploring Corinth with me. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I hope to welcome you again in the future for more exciting adventures! Have a safe trip back to the 10000 lakes! Warm regards to everyone! Mighty Ducks!

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.

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.

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.
