Itinerary
We will begin our journey to Ancient Corinth from your hotel or accommodation in Athens and Head to Pelloponise.
We will make a short stop to admire the Canal (Isthmus) of Corinth. The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects mainland Greece to the Peloponnese, while the canal drilled across it connects the Saronic with the Corinthian Gulf, thus connecting the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. The length of the Isthmus is about 6 kilometers, and the narrowest point is where the Corinth Canal has been drilled (1880 to 1893).
We will visit the famous and imposing archaic temple of Apollo, with monolithic Doric columns, of whom seven are still standing prominently above the ruins of ancient Agora. We will head back to Athens after a short break for lunch at a local restaurant (optional). *total duration includes the travel time

About Athens
Athens sets the Acropolis above a sprawling modern capital, where ancient ruins, hillside lanes and long taverna evenings sit side by side.
The Parthenon crowns the Acropolis, flanked by the Erechtheion and its porch of caryatids, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill displays sculpture found on the rock. Around it, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Hadrian's Arch and the marble Panathenaic Stadium make the classical city easy to walk through.
Top-ranked sights in Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
