Venture south of Athens to discover highlights of the Peloponnese. Cross the Corinth Canal to leave mainland Greece and explore the Ancient Corinth, antiquity’s most powerful commercial crossroads.

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal.

George was a lovely driver and although not a licensed tour guide, he was very knowledgeable about the places we visited.

We were traveling on a cruise ship that docked in Athens last Thursday. Because we had previously visited Athens, we wanted to see some out of town sights, including Corinth. Although our schedule was tight, Viator arranged a private tour for us with pickup from our hotel. Petros was our guide for the 1/2 day, and was simply awesome. While we don’t speak Greek, his English was superb. His knowledge of the country, personality and willingness to be flexible to our interests made this trip very worthwhile.
Mastering Greek Mytholgy made easy by Costa

Costa was a most fascinating guide. We ended up being the only two on the tour after we finished a Virgin Greek Isles cruise. His passion was Greek Mythology and we wish we received his explanations before we set off on our Greek Odyssey. So much of the English language and our culture is underpinned by the original Greek legends, which were paralleled in all religions. The Corinth Canal has to be seen to be believed but the highlight was to the Museum of Ancient Corinth - better labelled and displayed then those in the Acropolis museum. We we taken to the peak of Acrocorinth for outstanding views over ancient and modern Corinth and a tasty lunch at the restaurant there. Climbing up to the fortress is not for the feint-hearted but worth the effort! Costa then took us to the airport for an extra fee. The day was a highlight of our trip and I recommend anyone spending a few days in Athens to do this tour first to get a good grounding in the history and culture of Greece.
I would highly recommend...

I would highly recommend a trip to Corinth if you're in Athens! The canal, Ancient Corinth, Castle and ruins were all spectacular - I'm so glad we decided to go on this tour. To top it all off, we had a delicious meal at Marino's, which was included in our tour. George was a phenomenal guide!! He was so knowledgeable and filled our day with fascinating stories of Greek history. A+!!
Magnificent and awe inspiring!

Our tour guide, Spiros, was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the subject, Corinth! We were not aware of how big & deep the canal was! It was breathtaking!Spiros knew exactly how to make the whole trip enjoyable and unforgettable! It was one of the best ones that we took while on our vacation. We selected the lunch option with our tour, for which we were treated to the best restaurant that we had been to, while on this entire vacation!
