• Athens - Pick up from Athens and one hour drive to reach our first stop.
• Corinth Canal - Corinth Canal, one of the most important projects and 19th century engineering masterpieces, playing a catalytic role for the Mediterranean trade. The Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. It is currently of little economic importance becoming mainly a tourist attraction.
• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins.
  For Christians, Corinth is well known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul the Apostle’s missionary travels. In addition, the second book of Pausanias’ Description of Greece is devoted to Corinth.
  Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans demolished Corinth in 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.
• Archaeological Museum of Corinth - The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was constructed between 1931-1932, with intentions to display the numerous recent archaeological excavations. The museum is located within the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth and lies under the jurisdiction of the 37th Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service.
• Acrocorinth - Acrocorinth or “Upper Corinth”, the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth. In the estimation of George Forrest, “It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece”. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth’s fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.

We initiate our journey with a traversal of the Corinth Canal, built in 1893 and still operating today. Post our journey through the canal, we head towards Ancient Corinth, which presumably was home to around 100,000 inhabitants but only has 600 ruins in the present era. Corinth has the reputation of being one of the most well-known and frequented towns in Greece. It’s situated in the South West of Peloponnese, bordered by mountains named after the ye olde city. Notable monuments include The Temple of Apollo, Roman Odeon, and the Archaeological Museum.
