What to expect

  1. Corinth Canal
    15m
    The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth 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.
  2. Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Ancient Corinth was inhabited in the Neolithic period (6500-3250 BC) but the big prosperity begins in the 8th century.

    Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus (canal) of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta.
  3. 1h · Admission ticket not included
    Visit the Chambers of Wonder of the Kapsia cave which is one of the 10 most impressive caves in Greece and ranks among the top 100 that have been deemed suitable for exploitation from a total of approximately 7500 nationwide.
  4. Cooperative Winery of Nemea
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    OPTIONAL: wine tasting at one of the many wineries in the region of the tour. The Nemea area of the Peloponnese is Greece's most famous wine area. The approximate cost of the wine tasting is 15-20 EUR/person plus the cost of the extra time/travel.
  5. Nemea
    1h
    Lunch & drinks! An important part of all our tours!
  6. Agia Fotini Mantineias Church
    30m
    OPTIONAL: A Paradoxical church at a great location opposite ancient Mantinia
  7. Ancient Nemea
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Positioted 31km southwest of Corinth, Ancient Nemea was once the venue for the biennial Nemean Games, held in honour of Zeus. Three original columns of the imposing 4th-century-BC Doric Temple of Zeus survive, and the on-site museum displays rich finds from the area. The stadium where the Games were held is nearby; once connected to the sanctuary by a sacred road, it plays host to the resurrected Games.
  8. 40m · Admission ticket not included
    OPTIONAL: Acrocorinth, "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth. 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.
