Ancient Corinth, acrocorinth castle and Thermal Spa Day Trip

1. 20m
   The Daphni Monastery is located in Chaidari , on the outskirts of Mount Aigaleo , on Athens Avenue , upstream of Athens, 11 km from its center, and is built on the site of the Sanctuary of Apollo in Daphni . Its impressive architecture and the special mosaic decoration of the monastery church make it one of the most outstanding monuments of Byzantine art . Since 1990 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site
2. Corinth Canal
   20m
   The Diolkos stone road (450bc), an ancient Greek engineering marvel, allowed ships to travel overland from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean, bypassing the Peloponnesian Peninsula. Like the Corinth Canal, which was finally constructed millennia later (1893), it made passage around the peninsula much safer for the vessels, but it also meant backbreaking labor for the unfortunate men who were tasked with pulling the vessels across the isthmus. Under the blue skies of Greece, maybe we will see a giant vessel slowly makes its way through the rocky walls of a narrow, artificial waterway, with just a few inches to spare on either side, while those on board take in the engineering marvel in front of them.

4. Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
   1h · Admission ticket not included
   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. 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. 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 the Paul the Apostle’s missionary travels. In addition, the second book of Pausanias’ Description of Greece is devoted to Corinth.
