Itinerary

You will be picked up from select spots near Athens and take the picturesque route along the coast with a view to the Saronic Gulf, heading South to cross the iconic Corinth Canal. Even though the idea of its construction has been in existence since the days of Ancient Greece, it was only created during the late 19^th century. We will take a short stop for pictures before proceeding to the site of Ancient Corinth, where the remains of the Temple of Apollo, the Agora and the Ancient Theater are just some of the sites worth visiting. The city itself is not without spiritual magnitude as Apostle Paul preached there and subsequently authored his famous Epistles to Corinthians.
