- Corinth Canal - Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop.
The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.
ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece.
The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.

The Ancient Olympia Day trip captivates its visitors with its breathtaking natural landscapes and the remnants of its intriguing multifaceted cultural past. The ancient Olympic Games are historic athletic ceremonies conducted in tribute to Zeus, which have reportedly started in Olympia, as early as 776 BC.
The most notable structure present is the Temple of Zeus from the 5th Century. It was erected by Livon and housed the awe-inspiring 12-meter statue of Zeus by Phideas, recognized as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
The stadium capable of accommodating around 20,000 spectators, stood as the largest of its time. The Temple of Hera is notorious for its Olympic flame, which is ignited by the sun and then transferred by runners to wherever the Olympic Games are being organized, a custom dating back to 1936 AD. Presently, you can witness runners practicing or simply having fun in this area. The museum located opposite the road houses the 4th Century BC statue of Hermes portrayed by Praxiteles.
