Ancient Corinth and the Corinth Canal — history, myths, and Apostle Paul
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. Tour Highlights: ·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.

Jenny is wonderful to work with and HIGHLY recommend her for any tours you are doing in Athens. She took such good care of my clients and they loved her.

We so enjoyed traveling outside Athens to see other wonders of Greece. Jenny was not only knowledgeable but was sensitive to everyone’s level of activity and needs. She made the excursion very special. Highly recommend her services.
Chanan G.United States
We enjoyed every minute with Jenny on our day in Ancient Corinth and highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to get a great professional guided experience while benefiting from her patience and great company. Jenny guided us through the Museum of Ancient Corinth sharing her vast knowledge and answering our questions. We then walked through the ancient sites of Octavia’s temple remains the Agora and the Temple of Apollo. From there based on our interest, Jenny took us up to Acrocorinth and into the fortress and we ended the day with a tour of the Corinthian Canal. We feel we got so much more out of the experience thanks to Jenny and really enjoyed spending the time with her. Five stars!
Shaun P.United States
We can’t speak highly enough of Jenny and our full day tour to Corinth and surroundings. A great balance of knowledge and personable dialogue. The best guide we have ever had when it comes to adjusting to our pace and our interests. Zero pressure to visit a specific restaurant or souvenir shop like we have experienced by guides in the past.
