This tour begins with a ride on the Corinth Canal, which was constructed in 1893 and still used today. After crossing the canal, we drive on towards Ancient Corinth, it has been estimated that Ancient Corinth held as many as 100,000 inhabitants at one time but only about 600 ruins remain. Corinth is one of the most famous and visited cities of Greece. The city is located in the South West of the Peloponnese surrounded by mountains that take their name from the ancient town. The most renowned monuments are: The Temple of Apollo, Roman Odeon and the Archaeological Museum.

  • Corinth Canal, Isthmia, Greece
    Corinth Canal, one of the most important projects and 19th century engineering masterpieces, playing a catalytic role for the Mediterranean trade. The Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea 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. 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, making it impassable for many modern ships. It is currently of little economic importance becoming mainly a tourist attraction.

  • Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos), Corinth, Greece
    Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. For Christians, Corinth is well known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul the Apostle's missionary travels. In addition, the second book of Pausanias' Description of Greece is devoted to Corinth. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans demolished Corinth in 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.
    60 minutes
  • Archaeological Museum of Corinth, Corinth, Greece
    The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was constructed between 1931-1932, with intentions to display the numerous recent archaeological excavations. The museum is located within the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth and lies under the jurisdiction of the 37th Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service.
    30 minutes
  • Corinth 200 07, Greece
    Acrocorinth or "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth. In the estimation of George Forrest, "It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece". With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.

This was a fantastic experience throughout. We were picked up and dropped off right outside our hotel and our driver Panos was friendly, professional and knowledgable. He was flexible with the time and allowed us to spend more time at the areas we enjoyed the most. The sights we visited were amazing, especially the Temple of Apollo and Acrocorinth and they are certainly worth leaving Athens for half a day to go and visit. They’re significantly less crowded than the main sights in Athens. I would highly recommend LS Tours and especially our driver, Panos to anybody.
