• Corinth Canal - This tour provides a wonderful glimpse into the history of Ancient Corinth and offers the chance to swim where Helen of Troy once did! 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. Our first stop is the Corinth Canal, a monumental project since antiquity, finally completed in 1892, separating the Peloponnese peninsula from mainland Greece and linking the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. Visitors can walk across a pedestrian bridge for a closer look at the canal, and on certain days, bungee jumping is available for the adventurous.
• 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 was one of the most powerful and affluent cities of Ancient Greece and is a prominent religious site, as Apostle Paul preached Christianity here, faced judgment at the Agora tribunal, and founded a well-organized Christian church.
• Temple of Apollo - The tour includes a visit to the Temple of Apollo in Ancient Corinth. This temple is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and mainland Greece, constructed around 560 B.C.E. from local monolithic limestone atop a striking rocky hill north of Acrocorinth. The Archaic temple symbolized Corinth’s growth and prosperity.
• Acrocorinth - The hill of Acrocorinth, the oldest and largest castle in southern Greece, dominates Ancient Corinth. This stop offers fantastic photo opportunities.
• Archaeological Site of Isthmia - The Sanctuary of Poseidon at Isthmia, featuring a temple, stadium, and theatre, was a significant cult and athletic center where the Panhellenic Games, known as “the Isthmia,” were held biennially in honor of Melicertes-Palaemon or Poseidon. The museum here is worth visiting for its displays of athletic equipment, weapons, and impressive glass mosaic panels found at Kechries port.
• Kechries - The ancient port of Kechries served as the harbor of ancient Corinth and was a crucial commercial and military port in ancient Greece. The area featured innovative port facilities, warehouses, shops, and public buildings, with many artifacts housed in the Isthmia museum. Apostle Paul departed from this port to Ephesus in 52 AD. The site is now submerged, but visitors can see the harbor arms, sanctuaries, basilicas, and other structures.
• Loutra Elenis - While Cleopatra was known for her milk baths, Helen of Troy, also known as Helen of Sparta, is believed to have enjoyed thermal baths in this quaint village. This tradition inspired the village’s name, “Loutra Oraias Elenis,” meaning “The baths of the beautiful Helen” in Greek. Loutra Oraias Elenis boasts a long pebble beach with taverns and café bars that draw many visitors.
• Athens - The tour concludes with a drive back to Athens.
