  2. Corinth Canal
    10m
    The Corinth Canal is a canal in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Completed in 1893, it cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the Greek mainland. The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) in length and at 24.6 metres (80.7 feet) wide at sea level, it is impassable for many modern ships. It is currently of little economic importance and is mainly a tourist attraction.
  3. Acrocorinth
    1h
    Your journey begins at the spectacular Acrocorinth, an ancient fortress rising dramatically above the Corinthian landscape and one of the locations associated with the filming of The Odyssey. Explore its monumental walls while your private guide brings to life the stories of Agamemnon, Odysseus and the heroes of the Trojan War.
  4. Pylos
    1h
    Discover Pylos and the Bay of Navarino, a landscape deeply connected with the ancient world of Homer and the kingdom of the legendary King Nestor.
