(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Corinth Canal
The Corinth canal is a man-made waterway that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, providing a shortcut for shipping between the two seas. The canal was built between 1882 and 1893 and has been renovated several times since then. Today, it is used by both merchant vessels and passenger boats.
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.
Citadel and Treasury of AtreusPass-by Only
The Treasury of Atreus, also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon, is one of the most treasured and reverential tombs ever built in prehistoric Europe. Built for the tomb’s namesake, legendary King Agamemnon of Mycenae from around 1500–1200 BC and set to remain untouched until 1997 by its deceased occupant, it has been left wholly untouched and preserved through the travails of time. The most famous artwork depicted in the Treasury is the image of a seated woman which was originally thought to be Helen of Troy, but has since been determined by archaeologists to be another woman altogether.
