- Corinth Canal - The journey begins with a scenic 1.5-hour drive along the coast. Along the way, enjoy views of charming Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis, known for the historic naval battle between the Athenians and Persians. The first stop is the Corinth Canal, which opened in 1892, separating the Peloponnese peninsula from mainland Greece and linking the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. There will be time to walk across a pedestrian bridge for a closer look at the canal, and for the adventurous, bungee jumping is sometimes available.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Situated at the base of a hill, Ancient Corinth features the Roman Agora, the Temple of Apollo, and a small museum. Beyond its archaeological and historical significance, Ancient Corinth is a renowned religious site in Greece, where Apostle Paul preached Christianity, faced judgment at the Agora tribunal, and founded a well-organized Christian church of the era.
- Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo in Corinth is among the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and mainland Greece. Constructed around 560 B.C.E. from local monolithic limestone atop a prominent rocky hill north of Acrocorinth, this Archaic temple symbolized the city’s growth and prosperity.
- Acrocorinth - The hill of Acrocorinth, the oldest and largest castle in southern Greece, dominates Ancient Corinth. A stop here offers the opportunity for stunning photographs.
- Athens - The return journey to Athens will take approximately 1.5 hours.

Wonderful tour of ancient Corinth - Everything we saw was just beautiful. Adonis, our guide was awesome !! he sincerely wanted to be sure we saw what we wanted to see, and took a great deal of care explaining things to us. The Little restaurant near Acrocorinth was very quaint and the food was excellent. My friend has some mobility issues, and Adonis went out of his way to be sure she could still experience a wonderful tour. We would highly recommend you again, and would surely recommend Adonis to anyone as a tour guide.
