Itinerary
Your private tour starts from your hotel in Athens or your cruise ship and drive to the magnificent structure of the Corinth Canal, which is in Peloponnese, the southern peninsula of Greece. The Canal connects the Saronic with the Corinthian Gulf in the Aegean Sea. A dream of the ancients, that came true in 1893. Time for rest and some amazing photos above the Canal.
After that short time of rest let's drive to visit the Ancient Corinth (the city of Apollo and Afrodite, plus one of the most important visits of St. Paul).Ancient Corinth was an important state city during the ancient years, the richest and most famous port of the ancient Greece. We will make a short stop for some great photos and rest.
If the time permits, you can also see the Acrocorinth or else the Acropolis of Corinth. You can admire the Corinthian Gulf from up there and visit the temple of Afrodite, the Godess of beauty. Finally, it is time to drive back at Athens

George from enjoy Greece Tours was wonderful. He picked us up from the ship. The vehicle was clean and very comfortable. George had great knowledge of the history of the different areas we drove through. The Canal was busy but we had plenty of time to view and walk over the Bridge. At Ancient Corinth we were free to roam. George organised a local restaurant and the food was amazing. A wonderful day. Thank you Enjoy Greece Tours and George for such a memorable day.

Incredible experience. Wonderful sites and our guide, Jostas, was incredibly accommodating, considerate and extremely insightful with an abundance of explanations and information as we journeyed along. He did a great job sharing information, answering our questions and providing various experiences for coffee, lunch, comfort breaks, etc. Highly, Highly recommend the tour and would especially suggest you ask for Jostas!

Dimitri, our guide, was wonderful! He was engaging and knowledgeable of the area and history. We climbed to the top of the Acrocorinth, we traveled over the Corinth canal, and explored Corinth and the spot where St. Paul spoke to the Corinthians. Excellent!
