Overview of your Athens tour

I choose this tour when I want to get out of Athens for a few hours. It is an impressive site with a lot of history. Alexander the Great, Jules Ceasar and St Paul are some of the great men that were attracted by this city. All the arts, including the art of war and the art of love were developed here, cone join me on this tour to tell you more! If you like mythology, some of my favourite myths, like Medea, Pegasus and Sisyphos took place here. No other city built a street for ships!-this is a true fact not a myth!

This was our second day of touring with Nota (our first day we visited the Acropolis.) Nota arranged for a very comfortable car and driver for the hour drive to Corinth. We first stopped for some photos at the bridge over the Corinth Canal and then continued on to the museum and ancient ruins of Corinth. It was fun to get outside the city and see such an important historical site. We first toured the small museum and Nota was very knowledgeable about the different pieces found at the archaeological site. Then we walked through the ruins including the Temple of Apollo. Please note that this tour does not visit the Temple of Aphrodite on top of the Acropolis hill but you can see it from down below. I didn’t know much about Corinth when I signed up for this tour but it was extremely interesting and I do recommend it!

Nota provided us with a fun filled adventure to the site of the Eleusis Mysteries and all of the Greek mythology that was revealed in it's golden age. From there she took us to the ancient ruins of Corinth and made the story of St. Paul as he spoke in the area come alive. What could be better than to be exposed to such magnificent ruins with a steady narrative from one of the best guides we could be privileged to have? Nota made the history come alive, she tied it to modern day isuues and life in Greece. She instilled her love of her country in us and she made it a fun and happy day. We use Tours by Locals frequently and Nota was one of the best guides we have had. We highly recommend her. Elaine and Steve Kraut

This was my 3rd visit to Ancient Corinth and one of the best. Nota is a wonderful guide and very willing to help us understand the significance of this site. We enjoyed our time with her. She is flexible as she was willing to pick us up at the cruise ship dock, take us to Corinth and drop us off at our hotel in Athens at the end of the tour. Highly recommend her for any of your tour needs in Greece.
