Corinth Canal Cruise, Ancient Corinth & Acrocorinth Private tour
Overview
Dear travellers welcome to Athens!
Escape the bustle of Athens and discover Corinth, a land where myth and history meet, just one hour away. Begin at the awe-inspiring Corinth Canal, where the Aegean and Ionian seas unite through one of the world’s greatest engineering feats. For those who choose the canal cruise option, sailing between its towering cliffs is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Continue to Ancient Corinth, once a powerful city where temples, fountains, and marketplaces thrived, and where Apostle Paul spent 18 months spreading his teachings. Rising above, the Acrocorinth fortress invites you to explore a legendary stronghold tied to Pegasus, Medea, and timeless Greek myths!
Along the way, admire the countryside, coastline, and mountains of the Peloponnese, and enjoy a traditional lunch in the peaceful village of Ancient Corinth.
This tour combines legend, history, and stunning landscapes into an unforgettable day.
