We had a wonderful day visiting the Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, and Acrocorinth with Periklis. Although this wasn’t a guided walking tour, he shared valuable historical and biblical insights during the drive that gave us a much deeper appreciation for each location before we explored. One thing I especially appreciated was that we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time at every stop to walk around, take photos, and experience each site at our own pace. Acrocorinth was definitely a highlight with its incredible views, and seeing Ancient Corinth after recently studying 1 Corinthians made the experience even more meaningful. If you’re looking for a well-organized tour that balances helpful information with enough free time to explore on your own, I highly recommend this experience. Thank you, Periklis, for a fantastic day 🤙🏽
Pericles does his very best to give you a good trip and experience. It was a great option for a Corinth trip as most of the other options were private trips. He is very laid back and pleasant and overall it was a good experience. Corinth itself is amazing - the history and the place are both top notch.
This day trip was amazing. Our guide and driver, Periklis, is very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and treats you like his family. Never rushed and your comfort is his priority. Highly recommend this day trip.
Thank you very much for your review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day trip and that Periklis made your experience memorable. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back to Greece for another great adventure in the future. Safe travels!
The guide provides a lot of information about the history and acts professionally by ensuring that all questions are answered well. Corinth Canal Acrocorinth and Old Corinth Loutraki
Mercy!
Visiting Corinth and Akrokorinth was spectacular and it was made much easier by our engaging and knowledgeable tour guide, Sotiris. He taught us phrases and etymologies of various English words to get acclimated to Greek culture and he was friendly and very accommodating. Some of the climbs were quite steep and breathtaking but I can’t say enough about how perceptive he was to our every need. I recommend Sotiris and Clio Travels to anyone else looking to visit Corinth and Akrokorinth for the day.
Thank you so much !
This was a perfect half day adventure to Ancient Corinth. We had only 6 people in the van which was a great, small size. The van was comfortable and new. Soltiris was our driver. He was punctual, kind, and knowledgeable. He gave us so much history about Greece and told us about the language, culture, and food the whole time. He started by picking us up right on time. He gave us each a bottle of water, and engaged with us as we drove to Corinth which took about an hour. We went to the Corinth Canal first. We spent a few minutes taking pictures and going to the restroom at the mini mart. Then we went to AkroCorinth at the top of the mountain which had amazing views and rich history, and we went to the Corinth Museum after that. They offer a free audio tour on the app, and they have WiFi. We spent about an hour and a half there, but we could have spent much more time exploring the ruins, especially with the significance to Christians. Then we went to Loukatris (seaside town) for lunch (you get 1 hr 15 min on your own), and you could swim at the beach if you wanted. We returned to Athens right on time. We were with Soltiris from 8am-2:30pm. We highly recommended this tour!! The trip and driver were great, we got a lot of information, and always felt safe and comfortable.

We had a fantastic time with Sotiris, he was an excelent tour guide/driver, very friendly and funny. He gave us lots of inside information about Greek history and Greek language in this half day trip. The places we visited were amazing and we finished the trip eating a good gyros. ευχαριστώ/efcharistó/Thank you/Dankeschön/Gracias!
Our guide was friendly and conciencious, taking us to 4 stops full of interesting information and scenery. The middle ages fortress access is very steep and the pathway is slippery, but the views are spectacular. The Coronthian canal was impressive but VERY crowded. At Corinth the time at the ruins was informative, with many inscriptions and beautiful examples of Corinthian columns. It was easy to find the Bema where Paul preached to the Corinthians and was put on trial. The last stop was at the beach resort, which was beautiful. We had time for a quick swim and a quick meal but only because we planned it carefully. There was plenty of time at all the stops, in general.
Oiur guide, Pericles did an excellent job! He was very considerate and attentive to all our needs and questions
