Overview

This tour is more than a half-day trip from Athens — it is a carefully designed Greek experience through ancient history, mythology, and one of Greece’s most impressive engineering landmarks. With an English-speaking local driver, deep knowledge of Greek history, and genuine passion for Greece, you travel in comfort from Athens to the Corinth Canal, where the Aegean and Ionian seas are connected through a dramatic narrow passage. Continue to Ancient Corinth, a city linked with trade, mythology, Saint Paul, and centuries of Greek and Roman history. With comfort, elegance, local expertise, and personal care, this private journey helps you feel the history and atmosphere of Greece, not just see the landmarks. With us, it’s not just a ride — it’s part of your Greek experience.

Corinth Canal

The Canal of Corinth is a remarkable engineering feat that connects the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea, cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth. Completed in the late 19th century, the canal is 6.3 kilometers long, 21.4 meters wide, and 8 meters deep, allowing ships to bypass the long trip around the Peloponnese. It’s an impressive sight and a must-see for anyone visiting the area, offering beautiful views and a chance to understand the significance of this ancient trade route.
