Highlights
  • Corinth Canal - Setting off from Athens, your morning begins with the impressive feat of engineering that separates the Peloponnese from the mainland, the Corinth Canal. 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.
    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.

Private Biblical tour of Corinth. - We had to postpone our trip one day because the ruins closed unexpectedly. The company just put it off until the next day and took us to a place to meet another tour at the end of our . Corinth tour ,so we did not have to be inconvenienced Our tour guide was fun, informed and very accommodating. The lunch spot in Corinth was good and we had some time to shop also.

Amazing tour that brought ancient Corinth to life! - We greatly enjoyed our trip to Corinth with our driver Panos. We learned about contemporary Corinth (canal) and many aspects of ancient Corinth. Panos was helpful and courteous and well informed on matters relating to our trip. We would highly recommend this excursion to anybody. A highlight was the visit to Acrocorinth, the acropolis of ancient Corinth. It was INCREDIBLE! We could have happily spent the entire day just there as it is vast and so interesting. The views will absolutely blow your mind!! The best way to do this tour is with this private tour option because you can set your own pace without having to wait for others and their agendas or slow pace. You travel in comfort and get picked up and dropped off right at your accommodation in an air conditioned and comfortable vehicle. As Christians we found this trip very emotionally moving and it brought so many aspects of the life of the Apostle Paul to life. Highly recommended to all.

Great Tour of Ancient Corinth - During our vacation to Athens we wanted to visit ancient Corinth. We scheduled a full day private trip with My Athens Transfers and were completely satisfied! We were promptly picked up at our Athens hotel by our guide Costas who was very friendly and professional. Costas was very informative and he knew the history of the areas we visited and also the Biblical accounts associated with those places. He spoke very good English. His driving was excellent and safe! He didn't rush us and gave us time to shop as we wanted. He even recommended a good restaurant where we enjoyed a nice lunch with a great view! We thoroughly enjoyed our day! We highly recommend My Athens Transfers.

Best time driving around Corinth! - Dimopoulos Periklis was our driver and he was prompt, gregarious and extremely well informed about the biblical references of our stops. He was a great driver and a wonderful conversationalist. I highly recommend this tour and Dimopoulos as your driver.

Amazing - Worth the Time and Money - This was worth every penny! Our guide Nikos was amazing!! He greeted us on time, with cold water and a nice clean van. He gave us a lot of insight and historical info during the drive. He was really flexible with us taking as long or as little time as we needed at each stop. Nikos even made arrangements for an incredible table right on the sea for lunch at a delicious local restaurant. He dropped off and picked us up right at the entrance of each stop which helped to minimize walking in the heat. Gave us water throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour and Nikos, to anyone interested in seeing Corinth.
