(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Corinth Canal
After the intial overwhelming feeling of being 90 meters above water level looking straight down,you will admire this beatiful canal with the narrow steep walls only 26 meters apart and about 6 kilometers long. The ancinets Greeks first thought of it but it wasn't possible with the machinery available at the time, so it wasn't until 1893 that it was finally completed.
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Corinth has been a very wealthy city in the ancient times.Blessed by being situated around this very fertile land,growing olive trees,vineyards and much more, the city developed greatly in trading all these products also taking advanatge of its strategical location between Athens and Sparta. In the modern day, the Temple of Apollo dominates the well preserved archeological site thats gives the visitor a complete idea of the ancinet city and its most important parts.
The dispute between Poseidon and Helios (god of sun) found the later to be the "legendary owner" of this castle overlooking the Corinthian golf. Its unique location made the castle hard to conquer so it played an important role throught the ages of Greek history. Today,big parts of the Venecian built defensive walls are still preserved and the visitor can enjoy the 360 degrees view.
