Itinerary

1. Corinth Canal - Ancient Corinth - Oil Press

   • Meet the professional driver and begin with a drive along a coastal road. During the ride, you will see some Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis (where the historical naval battle took place between the Athenians and the Persians).
   • Make the first stop at the incredible Corinth Canal. Opened in 1892, separating the Peloponnese peninsula from the rest of Greece and fusing the Saronic Gulf with the Corinthian Sea, you will have the pleasure of walking across on a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal closer. And for the adventurous, on some days, bungee jumping is an option.
   • Continue driving to Ancient Corinth. Historically, the city was dominated by the hill of Acrocorinth, the oldest and largest castle in southern Greece. The site located at the base of the hill includes the Roman Agora of Corinth, the Temple of God Apollo and a small museum. In addition to its archaeological and historical interest, Ancient Corinth is also one of the most popular religious destinations in Greece. It was here that the Apostle Paul preached Christianity, was judged by the tribunal in the Agora and established the best-organized Christian church of the time.
   • Then, you will drive up to the imposing castle of Acrocorinth to take some great photos of the Corinthian Gulf and feel amazed by this incredible castle.
   • On leaving the site, you will visit an oil press. You will have the opportunity to walk around an old olive grove, see the olive press, watch a video about olives and taste olives and olive oil. You will also pass through Almirki on tour.
   • Finally, you will make your way back to Athens.
