Overview
Step into the crossroads of history and engineering on a private escape to Corinth.
This private road trip to Corinth offers a delightful and educational getaway, perfect for families, couples, or small groups seeking a blend of history, nature, and comfort. Traveling from Athens to the Peloponnese in a private 8-seater minivan equipped with A/C and Wi-Fi, you’ll enjoy a full-day journey through scenic countryside with stops at two iconic destinations: the Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth. Your first stop, the Corinth Canal, is a breathtaking man-made marvel that dramatically cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, linking the Ionian and Aegean Seas. Few structures better illustrate ancient vision paired with modern engineering. Then, immerse yourself in Ancient Corinth, one of the most powerful and wealthy city-states of antiquity. Walk through the impressive archaeological site and marvel at the Temple of Apollo, ancient marketplace (agora), fountains, Roman roads, and Corinth’s museum, which houses stunning mosaics and statues from the site. This 10-hour road trip combines archaeological exploration, panoramic views, and the freedom of a private journey, all while being fully customizable to match your pace and interests. A licensed guide can also be arranged to enrich your historical understanding.
