Overview

Dear travellers welcome!
Are you in Athens and want a country experience? Then Corinth might be the right choice for you.
Only one hour away from the busy and noisy Athens and where the Saronic gulf and the Corinthian gulf meet through the famous Corinth canal, a great engineering project that was completed in 1892. A quick stop to admire it from the bridge is a must.
Then visiting Ancient Corinth and the Acrocorinth is a must do for travellers interested in history and ancient Greek mythology. Also the Apostle Paul spent 18 months of his life in Ancient Corinth.
These two historical sites are some of the most important in all of the Peloponnese. This tour will give you a great taste of Greece's beautiful country side, endless coastline and mountainous landscape. Tasty Greek traditional lunch with nice views in the tranquility of the village of ancient Corinth will make you feel the Greek hospitality. We will make sure you will have the most amazing day!

Archaia Korinthos

The ancient city of Corinth holds a significant place in Greek history for its strategic location, prosperous trade, and influential culture. Situated between the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea, Corinth controlled the narrow Isthmus, a key trade route connecting the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and founding location of the Isthmian Games. It had a strong military presence as a strategic location for many wars over its ancient history and it experienced a series of political changes, alternating between periods of independence, Spartan control, and domination by other regional powers. Even after a period of decline during the Roman Conquest, it maintained its cultural importance until it underwent a significant urban renewal project initiated by Julius Caesar and later completed by Emperor Augustus. The city was rebuilt with a Roman architectural style, including temples, basilicas, and a forum. It became the capital of the Roman province of Achaea and a bustling cosmopolitan center.
