The Corinth half-day private tour (5 hours) combines all the history and gastronomy pleasure you will ever need. Follow a magnificent story that spans from ancient Greek to Roman times and up to recent years showcasing the human need to meet, trade, socialise and exchange ideas.

Corinth

After one hour drive from Athens you will be standing over the Corinth Canal. The canal opened back in 1893 a couple of thousands years after its conception. The canal view from the top is breathtaking and calls for an amazing selfie.

Next you will visit the site of Ancient Corinth. The city state of Corinth was the richest one in the ancient world and you will learn how and why this happened. Additionally you will follow the steps of Apostle Paul who lived in the town for 18 months during the Roman era. His famous letters (epistles) to Corinthians are full of pictures from his life in Corinth. There will be some free time to enjoy a quick lunch at one of the local taverns before taking the return route back to your base.

Optional add-on

You may opt for the extended version of the Corinth half-day private tour which concludes with an authentic Greek lunch by the seaside. We will drive you at one of the best country restaurants of Greece to enjoy some of the most delicious food you could ever have. You will be seated literally on the beach, subject to weather conditions, to enjoy sea food and other local delicacies. The chef-owner of the place will grill for you fresh fish out of the catch of the day with extra care to perfection. You will find all the best Greek and world wines properly stored in the cooled cellar. In short, you will have a culinary experience to treasure forever. However this add-on extends by one hour or more the tour duration and as it is optional you need to check that option during the tour request form fill in.
