What you can expect

Start with pickup from one of four centrally-located meeting points in Athens. Hop aboard a comfortable and air-conditioned minibus. Soak up views of the Greek countryside on the seamless transfer to the Corinth Canal.

Have 45-minutes of free time to take in views of this canal that Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Snap photos of this project that was conceived by a ruler of Ancient Corinth, begun by Roman emperor Nero, and completed in the 19th century by the French.

Be mesmerised by how it is cut through solid rock for 6 kilometres, 23 metres wide, with vertical sides rising 90-meters above the water. Have the option to use the bathroom and get snacks and drinks before heading to the ruins of Ancient Corinth.

Renowned for its wealth and architecture, Corinth was the site of Greece’s final stand against Rome. After the defeat, the Romans levelled the city, then rebuilt it as a Roman settlement with theatres, a forum and imperial temples. Only the ancient Temple of Apollo was spared.

Purchase a ticket to explore the ruins with the help of your VR and audio guide. Follow in the footsteps of figures like Pausanias and St. Paul and hear mythological stories like the Jason of the Argonauts during your three hours of free time.

Make a stop where you can buy a tasty lunch before beginning your journey back to Athens. Stop to snap photos at the ancient port of Kechries before returning to your pickup point in Athens with unforgettable memories.
