What to expect

  1. Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Ancient Corinth was an important city-state in ancient Greece that played a significant role in both Greek and Roman culture. The city was renowned for its architectural beauty, as well as for being home to some of the most famous artists and writers of the time. In addition, Ancient Corinth was a major center of commerce and trade, with maritime activity playing a critical role in its economy. Today, the ruins of Ancient Corinth offer a fascinating glimpse into life in ancient Greece.
  2. Archaeological Site of Isthmia
    Pass by
    Isthmia is a small village in the northeast of Greece, situated on the Isthmos of Corinth, near to the city of Corinth and close to the Saronic Gulf. This village has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and there are many ancient ruins in the area, including an acropolis dating from the Mycenaean period. The most famous attraction in Isthmia is probably the Temple of Poseidon, which was built in about 440 BC and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  3. Pass by
    The ancient fortress of Acrocorinth, located on a rocky outcropping overlooking the city of Corinth, was one of the most strategically important sites in all of Greece. Its commanding view and strong fortifications made it an ideal place to guard the entrance to the Peloponnese peninsula. The first fortifications were built by the Mycenaeans in the 13th century BC, but the site saw its greatest development during the Byzantine period.
  4. Corinth Canal
    2h
    The Corinth canal is a man-made waterway that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, providing a shortcut for shipping between the two seas. The canal was built between 1882 and 1893 and has been renovated several times since then. Today, it is used by both merchant vessels and passenger boats.
  5. Temple of Apollo
    Pass by
    The Temple of Apollo is an ancient temple located in the southern part of the Greek island of Delos. It was built in the 6th century BC and is one of the most significant archaeological remains on the island. The temple, which is surrounded by a peribolos wall, was constructed using the Cyclopean masonry technique, with huge blocks of stone fitted together without mortar.
  6. Athens
    2h
