Highlights
  • Corinth Canal - Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop.

The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth 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.

ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece.

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. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.

responsive, professional, courteous, fair prices - what more could you want? - Returned to Greece / Athens after 3-4 years and I didn’t even bother looking elsewhere. Dionisis & team continue to be a top notch service, fair pricing. Family of 5 and we did several trips with them. See you again!

Ask for Gus!! - Excellent and responsive service was provided during our five days in Athens. From the airport pickup, to the Athens day tour, to the Corinth tour, to the Poseidon Temple tour, Athens Limo was fantastic. Gus is a great driver and guide whose love and knowledge of Greece is only matched by his good humor. Athens Limo was even able to arrange for a last minute car service on New Years Eve. Highly recommend Athens Limo.

Personal Tour at our pace - Having your own driver was not much dearer than taking a tour bus for two people. it made it flexible and at our pace. We had a driver who was as good as a tour guide

A wonderful mainland tour of Pelloponese - I found them (highly recommended ) on trip advisor and i was'nt disappointed . i dealt with Dionisis over a month before the trip and he was extremely helpful the highlight of course was the day tour of the Argolis area. in general i have to add that my husband and i have traveled a fair amount especially in Europe but nowhere have we found people to be more friendly kind and hospitable who would go that extra mile to help you!
