Ancient Corinth in half a day
The closest of the great classical sites to Athens, and an easy morning or afternoon out. Stop for photos where the Corinth Canal slices 80 metres down through the rock, then walk Ancient Corinth: the Temple of Apollo, the marble Lechaion Road and the bema where St Paul stood before the proconsul Gallio. Acrocorinth looms overhead for those who want the view.
Private car, hotel pick-up and drop-off in Athens, and a schedule that fits neatly around a cruise call or a lazy start.
Plan it: read the Ancient Corinth guide, arriving by ship? pair it with the Piraeus transfer, or compare all 19 tours.

It is the classic shore excursion. Corinth is an hour from the port, the whole trip is 5 to 6 hours door to door, and we set the pick-up around your ship times and return you to the gate with a safe margin before all-aboard.
The stop is on the road bridge above the canal, which gives the famous view straight down the cut. Boat transits are run by separate operators and are not part of this tour.
Your driver-guide speaks English, Greek and French and briefs you on the way. Drivers are not licensed to guide inside archaeological sites; a state-licensed guide can be arranged on request at an extra charge. Entrance tickets are not included.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
