DURATION:  7   Hours

Traveling to Corinth along the way admire the endless blue of the Saronic Gulf, with the islands of Salamina and Aegina.

Leave Athens and drive southwest until you reach the Corinth Canal that connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea (short stop). Drive on and visit the ancient town of Corinth, where St. Paul lived and preached for two years.

The remains of the city, which include the agora (marketplace) and Temple of Apollo (6th-century BC) clearly show how rich and important Corinth was in ancient times.

Visit the Acrocorinth Caste, the most important defensive work of the area from antiquity to more recent times. The history of the fortification is closely connected with the history of Corinth itself. Sections of the wall are discernible from ancient pre-Christian times, the Byzantine period, the Frankish domination, the Venetian domination and finally the Turkish occupation. The fortress is accessible from the western side, departing from the modern village of Ancient Corinth.

A short stop at the site of the ancient Port of Κechries, where St. Paul disembarked will conclude the visit.

Visit the famous resort of Loutraki , stop for 90 minutes , free time for shopping

Return back to Athens by the same route.
