From Athens: Ancient Corinth One-Day Tour

About this experience

What does the Corinth and Nafplion tour include? This full-day guided tour departs from central Athens and heads south into the Peloponnese to explore two of Greece's most historically significant destinations. An expert English-speaking guide leads you through the ruins of Ancient Corinth before the tour continues to the seaside town of Nafplion, Greece's first capital, where you have free time to explore at your own pace. What will I see at Ancient Corinth? The archaeological site of Ancient Corinth was one of the wealthiest and most powerful city-states in classical Greece. Your guide takes you past the towering columns of the 6th-century BC Temple of Apollo, through the remains of the agora, fountains, and public buildings, and into the on-site archaeological museum. This is also where the Apostle Paul lived and preached for 18 months, a fact that makes the site especially significant for visitors with an interest in early Christian history. What is there to see in Nafplion? Nafplion is a compact seaside town with cobblestone streets, neoclassical architecture, Venetian fortresses, and a waterfront lined with cafes and restaurants. Your free time here lets you explore at your own pace, whether that means walking up to the Palamidi fortress, browsing the old town, or sitting down for a seafood lunch by the harbour. Does the tour stop at the Corinth Canal? Yes. The coach stops at the Corinth Canal for a brief photo break. The canal is a narrow man-made waterway cutting through the isthmus that connects mainland Greece to the Peloponnese, linking the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea.
