• Athens - Begin the journey by picking up or meeting at the designated point and proceed to Corinth.
• The Monastery of Daphni - This Byzantine monastery is located west of Athens, approximately halfway along the ancient Sacred Way from Athens to Eleusis. According to Pausanias, the area once housed a temple dedicated to Apollo, Demeter, and Persephone. The monastery is fortified with a massive square structure and high walls, enclosing the Katholicon (main church), which features a perimeter colonnade and monk cells on the south side, creating a small churchyard. The Katholicon dates back to the 11th century and is adorned with exquisite mosaics on a gold background, marble revetments, and sculpted decorations, though few remain today.
• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a remarkable feat of engineering. Envisioned by an ancient Corinthian ruler, initiated by Roman Emperor Nero, and completed in the 19th century, the canal cuts through solid rock, stretching over 6km in length and 23m in width, with vertical sides rising 90m above the water. It significantly boosted Piraeus’ status as a major Mediterranean port and is especially awe-inspiring when a ship passes through.
• Acrocorinth - This ancient castle sits atop a 575m high rock, with Ancient Corinth at its base. The initial construction of the walls dates back to the 7th-6th century BC, a prosperous era for Corinth. The next significant phase occurred in the 4th or early 3rd century; the walls were destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. Justinian is believed to have conducted repairs in the 6th century, with major fortification efforts during the Middle Byzantine period (8th-12th century). Inside the castle, remnants of the temple of Aphrodite (5th-4th century BC), the spring of Ano Peirini, several Christian churches, a Byzantine underground cistern, mosques, and fountains can be found.
• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - The site was first inhabited during the Neolithic period (6500-3250 B.C.). Known since the Mycenaean era, Homer referred to it as afnios due to its fertile soil. The city’s agricultural abundance facilitated extensive trade, particularly towards the Western Mediterranean, and in the 8th century BC, Corinthian colonies like Corfu in the Ionian Sea and Syracuse in Sicily were established. Its destruction by the Romans in 146 BC marked the end of the ancient Greek world, highlighting the city’s significance. The city’s reconstruction in 44 BC by Julius Caesar and the arrival of Apostle Paul marked a new chapter, reestablishing its importance. The city endured the Crusaders’ raids and Venetian occupation, and after seven centuries under Venetian and Turkish rule, Corinth was liberated.
