Αfter meeting your professional driver in Athens, you will begin your scenic drive along the beautiful coast of Greece to Corinth. On the way, you will make a short stop to observe the breathtaking Corinth Canal. The four mile long and only 70 foot wide canal separates the Peloponnesian peninsula from the Greek mainland.
Shortly after, you will arrive at Corinth. In ancient times, Corinth was amongst the richest cities and this is quite evident by its remains, including the huge Agora (marketplace) and Apollo’s Temple, constructed in the 6th century BC. You will experience all of the must see sights of this ancient city on your Corinth tour and then return to Athens in time for lunch.
After lunch, you continue on your tour passing by numerous points of interest such as Constitution Square, the Memorial to the Unkown Soldier, the Greek Parliament, Hadrian’s Gate, and the Olympic Stadium, before arriving at the Acropolis.
On the sacred rock of the Acropolis, the monuments date from the prehistoric period to the end of antiquity. Sights include the Propylaea, the Temple of Apteros Niki, the Erectheum, and the architectural triumph of the Parthenon.
