Hop inside your comfortable, air-conditioned executive car or minivan and admire the scenery as you travel along the coast to Corinth. Stop to see the Corinth Canal, the narrow, 19th-century canal that links the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea with Ionian Sea. Take snaps here and then continue to the archaeological site of ancient Corinth, an important trading city in Greek and Roman times that stood at the meeting point of southern and northern Greece. Here, explore the ruined temples, bathhouse, forum and theater, and see the bema — a stone platform where it’s believed St Paul once stood in front of gathered judges. Continue to Acrocorint on top of the hill. As you stroll around the sun-baked relics, stop to soak up wonderful views over the Saronic Gulf in the distance. Afterwards, make an optional stop for lunch, where you can taste Greek traditional dishes and enjoy a local wine. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 08:00, 09:00, 10:00: 3 departures a day - Food included: Optional stop for meal and/or coffee - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €135 per person - Duration: 5h–6h - Rating: 4.87/5 from 61 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: CRISPY LOCAL MONOPROSOΡΙ Ι.Κ.Ε. - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English - Start times: 08:00, 09:00, 10:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-22 ## Reviews 4.87 from 61 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 60 of 61. - 5 stars: 56 (92%) - 4 stars: 4 (7%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 1 (2%) ## What's included - Private Pickup - Drop off - Private transportation - Greek Culinary Gift - Professional drivers with deep knowledge of history (not licensed to accompany you in any site) - Bottled water - Optional stop for meal and/or coffee ## Not included - Certified Tour Guide inside Archaeological site (Available upon request with extra cost) - Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) ## Itinerary 1. **Corinth Canal** (10m) - Stop to see the Corinth Canal, the narrow, 19th-century canal that links the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea with Ionian Sea. 2. **Acrocorinth** (1h) - Visit Acrocorinth, the Acropolis of Ancient Corinth, a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth.
