Itinerario

  1. After your driver picks you up from your accommodation follows a beautiful scenic coastal drive to Corinth which is about 50 minutes. Approaching Ancient Corinth we will make a stop to admire this wonder of engineering, the Corinth Canal.

    20 min

  2. After the amazing view of the canal and on your way to ancient Corinth we will head to the west entrance of the canal to see the famous diolkos, build around 6th century BC. An ancient paved trackway where they would haul ships from one body of water to the other. A true wonder of ancient Greek technology.

    30 min

  3. The ancient city of Corinth holds a significant place in Greek history for its strategic location, prosperous trade, and influential culture. Situated between the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea, Corinth controlled the narrow Isthmus, a key trade route connecting the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and founding location of the Isthmian Games. It had a strong military presence as a strategic location for many wars over its ancient history and it experienced a series of political changes, alternating between periods of independence, Spartan control, and domination by other regional powers. Even after a period of decline during the Roman Conquest, it maintained its cultural importance until it underwent a significant urban renewal project initiated by Julius Caesar and later completed by Emperor Augustus. The city was rebuilt with a Roman architectural style, including temples, basilicas, and a forum. It became the capital of the Roman province of Achaea and a bustling cosmopolitan center.

    2 h

About Atenas

Atenas sitúa la Acrópolis sobre una capital moderna y extensa, donde ruinas antiguas, callejuelas en cuesta y largas veladas de taberna conviven.

El Partenón corona la Acrópolis, flanqueado por el Erecteión y su pórtico de las cariátides, y el Museo de la Acrópolis, al pie de la colina, exhibe las esculturas halladas en la roca. Alrededor, el Ágora antigua, el templo de Zeus Olímpico, el Arco de Adriano y el estadio Panatenaico de mármol permiten recorrer a pie la ciudad clásica con facilidad.
