- Corinth Canal - After the initial overwhelming feeling of being 90 meters above water level looking straight down, you will admire this beautiful canal with the narrow steep walls only 26 meters apart and about 6 kilometers long. The ancient Greeks first thought of it but it wasn’t possible with the machinery available at the time, so it wasn’t until 1893 that it was finally completed.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth has been a very wealthy city in ancient times. Blessed by being situated around this very fertile land, growing olive trees, vineyards, and much more, the city developed greatly in trading all these products also taking advantage of its strategic location between Athens and Sparta. In the modern day, the Temple of Apollo dominates the well-preserved archaeological site that gives the visitor a complete idea of the ancient city and its most important parts.
- Acrocorinth - The dispute between Poseidon and Helios (god of sun) found the latter to be the “legendary owner” of this castle overlooking the Corinthian gulf. Its unique location made the castle hard to conquer so it played an important role throughout the ages of Greek history. Today, big parts of the Venetian-built defensive walls are still preserved and the visitor can enjoy the 360 degrees view.

Next, we’ll visit Ancient Corinth, one of the most significant cities of Ancient Greece, where we can explore the ruins of the Temple of Apollo and follow in the footsteps of Apostle Paul. After that, we’ll ascend the Acropolis of Corinth, situated right above the city, to enjoy a panoramic view of the area, stretching from the Corinthian Gulf to the canal and beyond.
