CORINTH CANAL

Our first stop is at the impressive Corinth canal as your driver describes its many interesting ill-fated and varied History’s from Ancient times to the present.

ANCIENT CORINTH

After a short drive further into the Peloponnese we stop to explore the beautifully preserved remains of Ancient Corinth, one of Greece’s most powerful and influential city states of Antiquity. Stroll through the streets, temples, markets, and fountains in the footsteps of the Classical Greeks, Ancient Romans & St. Paul before you. Refreshments & rest stops are also on hand at the local Cafes at its entrance if needed and there is a small onsite museum dedicated to the finds from the ancient city.

ACROCORINTH

Guests can be brought up to the fortress of Akrocorinth which sits above the ruins of Ancient Corinth and enter to explore and take in the amazing panoramic views of the surrounding countryside & coast.

Please note that the entrance to Akrocorinth is on a hillside with some uphill walking necessary. Any guests with walking difficulties may therefore choose to omit this site & spend more time in Ancient Corinth.

OLD PORT OF KEHREAI

Visit to Kehreai to see the Ancient Port

LECHAION VILLAGE

We end our tour at the seaside village of Lechaion so you have the option of enjoying lunch or a drink by the sea before your return.
