Highlights

Corinth 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.

Highly recommend! - We used MyAthensTransfers for two tours on a recent family vacation in Athens. Both times our drivers were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were very impressed by their hospitality. The cars were clean, modern, and very comfortable for our family of 6. I highly recommend this company!
