- Athens - Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel or other accommodation in Athens. Enjoy a scenic drive of approximately one hour to reach the Corinth Canal.
- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, and arguably turning the peninsula into an island. This is the first stop, perfect for capturing stunning photographs.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Ancient Corinth was a prominent city-state (polis) located on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated roughly midway between Athens and Sparta. Known for its historical significance, Corinth is mentioned in the New Testament through the letters of Saint Paul, First and Second Corinthians, and in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul’s missionary journeys. Visitors can explore the ancient city-state, view the Bema of Saint Paul, and visit the small museum within the archaeological site.
- Acrocorinth - Acrocorinth, or “Upper Corinth,” is the acropolis of ancient Corinth, a monolithic rock that overlooks the ancient city and the Corinthian Gulf. It is the most striking acropolis on mainland Greece. With its reliable water supply, Acrocorinth’s fortress served as a crucial line of defense in southern Greece, controlling the Isthmus of Corinth and preventing enemy access to the Peloponnese peninsula.
- Kalavryta - Discover this charming mountain village and savor authentic Greek cuisine and local wines. Kalavryta and its surroundings offer a year-round resort experience. Enjoy lunch here and explore the town center on foot before or after your meal. Nestled at the base of Mt. Chelmos, Kalavryta is a popular destination for Athenians during the winter months due to its ski center. The town’s enchanting setting features stone-built houses, quaint squares, delightful alleys, and picturesque cafés and tavernas beneath large shady plane trees. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking to blend their love of nature with a romantic atmosphere.
- Kastria Cave of the Lakes - Experience a unique natural wonder with mysterious galleries and unusual stalactite formations. The cave’s walls are adorned with magnificent stalactite structures that inspire the imagination as visitors navigate this stone forest full of surprises along a safe pathway. At the corridor’s end, visitors encounter the “Castle,” one of the most remarkable formations resembling a castle’s battlements, with a “rampart” nearby. The cave features 13 lakes of varying sizes, interspersed with terrestrial areas, extending nearly 2 km (1980 m) and covering an area of 20,000 m2. As visitors venture deeper, they can appreciate the cave’s unique morphology, formed along a fault line, resulting in its narrowness and high ceiling. Discover more about the caves during your visit.
- Odontotos Rack Railway - Board the Odontotos railway and admire the beauty of this part of the Peloponnese. Odontotos is more than just a train; the Vouraikos gorge and Odontotos rack railway from Diakopto to Kalavrita is a distinctive attraction in Greece. This area is rich with towns, villages, welcoming locals, a unique environment, and the essence of Greek life. While volumes could be written about this place’s history, a train journey offers a genuine experience.
