Itinerary
Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth 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. ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece. 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. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.
Ancient Corinth was one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. It was this megalopolis where the Apostle Paul arrived, worked and established a prosperous church, and later on he wrote two of his epistles, which are now part of the New Testament. We will visit the ruins of the old city where St. Paul worked You will admire also the Temple of Apollo, that is one of the oldest temples in Greece dating back to the 6th century B.C.

Fantastic company. We booked a half day tour of ancient Corinth, with a tour guide, car and driver. The tour guide was a separate cost and worth every penny. The company picked us up from the Athens port (at the completion of our cruise) in a minivan (needed for the luggage) and we had a comfortable ride to Corinth, where we picked up our local guide. The tour was inciteful (though since I don't like heights, the canal crossing on a small bridge was memorable for the wrong reasons!). After our tour of ancient Corinth, the driver took us back to Athens to our hotel about mid afternoon. We also had booked them for an airport transfer from hotel to our departing flight the next morning and they arrived promptly with clean and comfortable minivan and excellent driver. All my arrangements were made via email, pre-cruise. Responses to emails were prompt and reliable. Would book with them again without hesitation.

We had a change of plans and decided on this tour the night before the scheduled departure. Early the next morning the point of contact for Athens Limos reached out to me before I could get out of bed. Vasali (our driver) was an absolute professional. He was very knowledgeable, courteous, and patient as we explored several of the local shops outside of the ruins. Ask for him by name. You won't be disappointed!!

Dionisis and Athens Limo Tours were simply incredible. My daughter and I visited Athens the last week of March 2022. I chose Athens Limo Tours based on the Trip Advisor Reviews…and I wasn’t disappointed! We visited Ancient Corinth on our third day. The previous day we had booked a tour with a large company, on a bus, with 25 people, to another site. The difference between that experience and the experience we had with Athens Tours was remarkable. If I had known prior to planning our vacation how big the difference was, I would have booked with Athens Tours all week! For our trip to Corinth, Dionisis was able to arrange for a guide, licensed in Greece, who did an excellent job throughout the day telling not only historic facts throughout our visit, but also mythological and contemporary about the places we visited. Ifi was an incredible tour guide. On the ride back we asked for suggestions for the next day. Dionisis was able to arrange a short-notice trip to Cape Sounion the next day. That trip was awesome as well. If you’re visiting Athens and looking for a great experience, please consider Athens Limo Tours. If you’re concerned about the additional cost, let me tell you, it’s well worth it! My daughter and I truly enjoyed our experience, and I’m glad we booked it!
