We will begin with a drive along the coast for 1,5 hour. On the way you will view of some Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis (where the historical naval battle took place between the Athenians and the Persians). Our first stop the Corinth Canal. Opened in 1892 separating the Peloponnese peninsula from the rest of Greece and connecting the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. You will have time to walk across on a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal closer, (if you’re game) on some days bungee jumping is an option.

L'ancienne Corinthe, située au pied de la colline, comprend l'agora romaine, le temple d'Apollon et un petit musée. Outre son intérêt archéologique et historique, l'ancienne Corinthe est également l'une des destinations religieuses les plus populaires de Grèce. C'est ici que l'apôtre Paul a prêché le christianisme, a été jugé par le tribunal de l'agora et a fondé l'Église chrétienne la mieux organisée de l'époque.

The temple of Apollo at Corinth is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland. Built around 560 B.C.E., of local monolithic limestone on top of an imposing, rocky hill to the north of Acrocorinth, the Archaic temple was an emblem for the Greek city of Corinth, reflecting its growth and prosperity.

Ancient Corinth is dominated by the hill of Acrocorinth, the oldest and largest castle in southern Greece. We will stop here for some incredible photos.

We will drive back to Athens driving around 1,5 hour.
