Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal is a narrow, man-made waterway in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Completed in 1893, it cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. The canal is about 6.4 kilometers long and only 21 meters wide at its base, making it too narrow for modern large ships. Despite this, it remains an important historical and tourist site, offering a stunning view of steep rock walls and serving as a symbol of engineering ambition in ancient and modern times. We will make a 30-minute stop for you to enjoy the stunning view and take photos from the bridge over the Corinth Canal.

The Diolkos

The ancient Diolkos of Corinth was a paved trackway that enabled ships to be transported overland across the Isthmus of Corinth. Built in the 6th century BCE, it connected the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Gulf, allowing faster and safer passage between the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The Diolkos functioned as a kind of stone "railway," using wheeled platforms to move ships. It was a remarkable feat of ancient engineering and played a key role in commerce and military strategy in antiquity. Today, its remains highlight the ingenuity of ancient Greek infrastructure. We will make a short stop here for approximately 30 minutes, giving you the opportunity to visit the section of the ancient Diolkos in Corinth, as well as the unique submersible bridge at the entrance of the Corinth Canal.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

Ancient Corinth was one of the most powerful city-states of ancient Greece, strategically located between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese. The archaeological site includes impressive ruins such as the Temple of Apollo (6th century BC), the Roman Agora, fountains, shops, and public buildings that reflect its historical importance. Visitors can walk through ancient streets and admire the blend of Greek and Roman architecture. The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth, located within the site, houses remarkable artifacts uncovered during excavations. Its collections include statues, pottery, inscriptions, and mosaics that illustrate daily life, commerce, and religion in ancient times. Highlights include the Roman mosaics and items related to the Apostle Paul, who preached in Corinth in the 1st century AD. We will wait for you here for one hour, so you can visit the Archaeological Site and the Museum of Ancient Corinth.

Acrocorinth

Acrocorinth is the impressive acropolis of ancient Corinth, located on a steep, rocky hill rising 575 meters above sea level. It has been continuously fortified from antiquity through the medieval period due to its strategic location and panoramic views of the surrounding region. The fortress served as a powerful military and administrative center for the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottomans. Visitors can explore ruins of ancient temples, fountains, defensive walls, and a mosque. At the summit, the remains of the Temple of Aphrodite highlight the site's religious significance in antiquity. Acrocorinth offers not only a journey through centuries of history but also breathtaking views of the Corinthian Gulf, the Peloponnese, and the Isthmus of Corinth. We will wait for you here for one hour, so that you have time to visit the castle of Acrocorinth.
