Ancient Athens meets ancient Corinth
Two great city-states of the classical world in one private day. Athens first: the Acropolis, the ancient Agora and the highlights of the modern capital. Then west across the Corinth Canal, pausing on the bridge over that dizzying cut, to Ancient Corinth, the wealthy crossroads city where St Paul lived and preached, watched over by the fortress rock of Acrocorinth.
Hotel pick-up, private air-conditioned car and a driver who handles the timing, so both cities get their due without the day feeling long.
Plan it: read the Athens and Ancient Corinth guides, want Corinth alone? see the half-day trip, or compare all 19 tours.

Roughly half and half: the Acropolis and the city monuments in the morning, then an hour on the motorway to the canal, Ancient Corinth, lunch and the Acrocorinth viewpoint in the afternoon. Allow 8 to 9 hours with a 08:30 start and a return around 16:30.
Yes. Piraeus is on the way to Corinth, so we collect you at the port gate and return you there with a safe margin before all-aboard.
Your driver-guide speaks English, Greek and French and briefs you between stops. 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.
