   10 min

6. Plaka is the oldest neighborhood of Athens. We can drive at the narrow streets of the most picturesque spot of the city or even spend some time walking around the shops.

7. Monastiraki square is the most famous commercial district of Athens. We can pass by and take a look at the shops, the flea market, the central food market of Athens and the Ancient Agora from outside.

8. Corinth Canal is a great piece of work completed in 1886, which connects the Aegean with the Ionian Sea and technically transforms the Peloponnese peninsula into an island. Originally, there was an isthmus, a narrow strip of land connecting the Peloponnese with Mainland Greece, that they are now connected with a bridge. Enjoy the astonishing view and take some beautiful pictures.

   10 min

9. Ancient Corinth was one of the most important city-states of Ancient Greece. Due to its strategic location next to the Isthmus, Ancient Corinth exceeded Athens in terms of wealth. Ancient Corinth had an important role at the Persian and the Peloponnesian Wars and was an important city-state from the classical times to the Roman Times, as a capital of the Roman province of Achaia, and until the Byzantine period. In the site you can see the temple of Apollo (7th Century BCE), the ruins of the Roman city (44 BCE), the Lehaion road and the place where Apostole Paul preached to the Corinthians.

About Athènes

Athènes dresse l'Acropole au-dessus d'une capitale moderne étendue, où ruines antiques, ruelles en pente et longues soirées en taverne se côtoient.

Le Parthénon couronne l'Acropole, flanqué de l'Érechthéion et de sa tribune des Caryatides, et le musée de l'Acropole, au pied de la colline, présente les sculptures trouvées sur le rocher. Autour, l'Agora antique, le temple de Zeus olympien, l'arc d'Hadrien et le stade panathénaïque en marbre permettent de parcourir facilement la ville classique à pied.
