Private Tour Of Ancient Diolkos, Isthmus Canal, Isthmia, Kenchreai, Acrocorinth & Ancient Corinth From Athens!

Our first stop is ancient Diolkos where you discover and explore the ancient passage from the Corinthian to Saronic Gulf and the sub-ducting bridge. Here you can enjoy a coffee or snack at a wonderful cafe while you admire the views and wait for boats to pass through the canal.

Our second stop is the Isthmus/Corinth canal which separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland where you will appreciate the engineering and incredible views of the Corinthian and Saronic Gulfs. Here you have the opportunity to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush with Zulu Bungy diving off from the bridge into the narrow Isthmus of Corinth (255.9 ft/78 m ).

In ancient times, Kenchreai was one of the two ports of the city-state of Corinth. In the Late Archaic period, it was a permanent settlement and a fortified naval station. Kenchreai flourished during the Roman Empire when the settlement was focused around the crescent-shaped harbour. The ancient harbour was partly excavated in 1962-1969 and excavations have uncovered several buildings.

Moving on with our adventure, we will visit the Acropolis or Acrocorinth with the incredible walled gates. As we drive up the monolithic rock we will be captivated by the breathtaking views of both gulfs, the Isthmus canal, Gerania mountain and surrounding beauty (1883 ft/574 m). Being the home of Pegasus (the winged horse) you will also discover the temple of Aphrodite and the Upper Pirene spring.

Driving down Acrocorinth we stop at Hadjimoustafa spring where you will admire Ottoman architecture and engineering. We then visit St.Paul’s church, where you gaze upon a fabulous mosaic mural depicting his vision from Christ while on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians. The work of art is truly astounding!

Time for a break! We enjoy a delicious authentic Greek lunch at Gemelos’ tavern on a fabulous balcony overlooking the temple of Apollo or at Marinos’ tavern with captivating views overlooking the Corinthian Gulf and the temple of Hera.

Finally, you will explore the incredible archaeological site of ancient Corinth with the fabulous museum, courtyard, temple of Apollo, fountain of Glauke, Sacred Spring, Peirene, Asklepieion, Odeion, Bema, Agora and much more.
