Overview of your Athens tour

Growing up with a summer house by the Saronic Gulf, I've spent countless summers mesmerized by the Corinth Canal's passage of cargo and passenger ships. Exploring Corinth's archaeological site with my history-loving grandpa left an indelible mark on me. Now, as your tour guide, I'm excited to share this experience with you. Together, we'll delve into the rich history of Ancient Corinth and marvel at the iconic Corinth Canal. Among the highlights of our tour are: ·Driving along part of the Sacred Way which served as a path of pilgrimage from Athens to the sacred site of Eleusis for the Eleusinian Mysteries in ancient times. ·Witnessing the engineering marvel of the Corinth Canal, the narrow waterway connecting the Aegean & Ionian seas. ·Exploring the remnants of Ancient Corinth, a once-thriving city, home to the Temple of Apollo and the Bema, where Apostle Paul is said to have addressed the Corinthians. ·Enjoying the view of Acrocorinth, a towering fortress perched atop the Acropolis of ancient Corinth.
