How we start our trip!
Our suggestion if possible is to start your tour at 08:00 am.
You will have the added benefit of visiting archaeological sites at different times from the large tour buses and groups of visitors, thus enabling you to experience the wonderful monuments and learn their history at a time of the day when they are not overcrowded.
First stop...
The half-day Ancient Corinth tour starts with a 45-mile drive on the National highway towards Peloponnese. We will reach the well-known Corinthian canal or else Isthmus canal that connects the Saronic Sea and the Corinthian Sea.
After a short stop for pictures, we will continue with a ten- minute drive through the orange and lemon tree fields and arrive at Ancient Corinth and its unique museum, the Temple of Apollo-the God of Oraclesand the Sun, the Roman baths and finally the Vima (step) from where St. Paul preached to the Corinthians in 52 A.D.
Next stop...
We will continue with a visit at Acrocorinth.
Acrocorinth “Upper Corinth”, the Acropolis of Ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock
overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece.
In the estimation of George Forrest: “It is the most impressive of the Acropolis of
mainland Greece”. Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the
early 19th century.
Currently, Acrocorinth is one of the most important medieval castle sites of Greece.
If you wish we will continue
with a stop at the remains of the
ancient port of Kenchreai. It was
one of the two ports of Corinth
and served the eastern trade
routes via Saronic Gulf. Apostle
Paul arrived at Kenchreai during
his second missionary.
Finally, we will drive back to Athens!
Entrance fees and lunch costs are not included in the price of the chosen tour.
