    This was a nice half-day trip to visit a few great sites. We were picked up at our hotel and, as an American, I didn't want to deal with traffic and driving. The sites were amazing and we were dropped off at our hotel after a very nice day. I recommend this tour if you're looking for something to do in an afternoon.

    An Unforgettable Tour with Giannis in Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth Our guided tour of Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth with Giannis was an unforgettable experience that far exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Giannis impressed us with his warm personality, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the area's rich history. With vivid storytelling and a passion for the past, he transported us through time, helping us envision life in ancient Corinth, understand its importance in antiquity, and truly connect with the place. His explanations of key sites — like the Temple of Apollo, the Agora, and the Peirene Fountain — were both engaging and informative, showing his talent for making history come alive. At Acrocorinth, the breathtaking views were only enhanced by Giannis' narration. He didn’t just provide facts, but shared myths, legends, and personal insights that made the experience feel rich and meaningful. Giannis was more than a guide — he was a storyteller, a host, and someone who clearly loves what he does. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he made each of us feel welcomed and involved. I wholeheartedly recommend Giannis to anyone looking to discover Corinth beyond the surface. This was not just a tour — it was a journey through time.

    Corinth Canal

    Corinth Canal

    Our first stop is at the impressive Corinth canal as your driver describes its many interesting ill-fated and varied History’s from Ancient times to the present.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
