Highlights
-
Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea 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. 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, making it impassable for many modern ships.
From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth’s isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal.

Awesome sights with and even better driver - I have to admit that when i booked this i wasn't sure what to expect and even thought about cancelling.
I am glad i didn't, it was totally worth it and our Driver Fotis was awesome, he made the trip worth it. He was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Really enjoyed all the sights we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise.
We were staying in Athens for a few days before taking a cruise and my son wanted to venture out away from Athens to see some of the sight and thats why we booked this.
Fotis was awesome, great guy, even better driver and very knowledgeable of Greek history.
If you get Fotis as your driver you wont be disappointed

Great Day in Nafplio & Ancient Corinth & Epidauras - This tour was on our last day in Greece & we spent the day with our wonderful & knowledgeable driver, Pedros.
We loved passing through the many little towns & learning about all the Greek history.
My favorite town was Nafphlio with all the Tavernas & lively activity. We enjoyed touring the Castle with breath taking views. There are just too many other tour moments we enjoyed along the private car ride.
Pedros was a wonderful tour guide & host. I highly recommend this tour!

Historical tour of Corinth - We really enjoyed our tour with Nick. We also got to learn a bit about life in Greece as well. He was very courtesy. The car was very clean. I liked that he met us in the lobby of our hotel. Corinth and other sights were great. We felt like we had plenty of time to see everything. Thanks for a great day.

Corinth canal is a must see. Ask for Costa. - Our driver, Costa, was one of the best drivers that we had. A good driver and extremely friendly. He was patient and we never felt rushed at all. The drives seemed short due to our conversations with Costa. He also made the effort to personally guide us to the town square of Nafplio.

Great travel weather in April and not overcrowded by tourists - Greece in April is always recommended. With a bit of luck, you can enjoy the Peloponnese with pleasant temperatures and green landscapes with lots of blooming flowers. And visit uncrowded cultural sights.

Highly recommend! - We used MyAthensTransfers for two tours on a recent family vacation in Athens. Both times our drivers were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were very impressed by their hospitality. The cars were clean, modern, and very comfortable for our family of 6. I highly recommend this company!

Great road trip with a lot of history - This tour covers a lot of ground. If you like road trips and watching the scenery change, this is a great one with lots packed in the middle. Our guide, Spiro, knew a lot about the scheduled stops and some extra tidbits along the way. We ate at a lovely restaurant by the sea with fresh fish and seafood.
