What's included in Private Full Day Tour of Corinth Canal, Old Corinth and Nafplio
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
The ancient city of Corinth, known as the "spiritual birthplace" of Europe, attracts thousands each day with its warm winds and inviting turquoise waters. Located in the heart of Greece, Corinth is a paradox of ancient and modern, as the city was founded in the 8th Century BC yet has retained its past and boasts a rich cultural heritage. The unique architectural style of Corinth can be found throughout the city. The Greek Orthodox Church's massive domes boast 16th century mosaics that depict biblical scenes, while centuries-old walls are covered with Medieval paintings. Corinth's Old Town is a patchwork of the ancient city, with cobblestone streets and small square cafes.
Archaeological Site of IsthmiaPass-by Only
Isthmia is a small village in the northeast of Greece, situated on the Isthmos of Corinth, near to the city of Corinth and close to the Saronic Gulf. This village has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and there are many ancient ruins in the area, including an acropolis dating from the Mycenaean period. The most famous attraction in Isthmia is probably the Temple of Poseidon, which was built in about 440 BC and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The ancient fortress of Acrocorinth, located on a rocky outcropping overlooking the city of Corinth, was one of the most strategically important sites in all of Greece. Its commanding view and strong fortifications made it an ideal place to guard the entrance to the Peloponnese peninsula. The first fortifications were built by the Mycenaeans in the 13th century BC, but the site saw its greatest development during the Byzantine period.
