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.

Delve into the remains of ancient Corinth, which was once a significant city in Greek and Roman times. The next destination is the historical hill city of Mycenae, where a history-rich walking tour of this robust, fortified settlement awaits you. Subsequently, journey to the legendary birthplace of Asklepios, the Greek healing deity, in ancient Epidaurus. Marvel at the awe-inspiring Epidaurus’ ancient theatre, renowned for its impeccable acoustics.
