Highlights

Corinth Canal - We will pick you up from Athens. The Isthmus of Corinth is the narrow land bridge which connects the Peloponnese peninsula with the rest of the mainland of Greece, near the city of Corinth. The Isthmus was known in the ancient world as the landmark separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. Since 1893 the Canal has run through the 6.3 km (3.9 mi) wide isthmus, effectively making the Peloponnese an island.
