2Days Private Tour to Corinth Canal,Sparta-Mystras-Ancient Olympia from Athens

Day 1: Visit Corinth Canal-Mystras-Sparta and overnight in Olympia

1. Corinth Canal
   10m · Admission ticket not included
   Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop.
   
   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.
   
   ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece.
   
   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. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.
2. Archaeological Site of Mystra
   3h · Admission ticket not included
   Mystras is UNESCOs World Heritage site!
   
   Mystras, the ‘wonder of the Morea’, lies in the southeast of the Peloponnese. The town developed down the hillside from the fortress built in 1249 by the prince of Achaia, William II of Villehardouin, at the top of a 620 m high hill overlooking Sparta.
   
   Like a replica in miniature of the majestic form of Mt. Taygetos, Mystras rises above the verdant valley of Eurotas and is the best-preserved example of medieval walled town in the Greek region, is today a standing ghost city that fascinates the modern traveler with its castle, churches and the palatial complex of the ruling Byzantine dynasty, bearing witness to its bygone greatness
