Begin your exploration with the amazing Corinth Canal, a waterway that changed the course of maritime history in the Mediterranean. You'll also be amazed by the ingenuity of the Posidonia and Isthmia underwater bridges, in operation since 1988.
Nearby, you can take a step back in time by discovering the Diolkos, the cobbled path used in ancient times to transport boats across the isthmus.
A visit to the Lord of the Seas at the Sanctuary of Isthmia is not to be missed. Immerse yourself in the ancient rituals dedicated to Poseidon and the sacred games held there.
Along the way, you'll discover the ancient ports of Cenchres and Lechaion, which were once the maritime centers of trade in the Mediterranean. On the road, you'll see the remains of the Great Wall of Hexamilion, a structure that once protected the region.
The tour passes by an often-overlooked site of great historical importance, just a few kilometers from Corinth. The site of Sicyone is an ancient city that contributed greatly to the development of Greek art and was famous for its schools of painting and sculpture. It was also the birthplace of some of the greatest artists of ancient Greece.
Adventure seekers will be thrilled by the climb to Acrocorinth, a triple-fortified fortress. This strategic hilltop bastion offers spectacular panoramic views.
Finally, you can round off your discovery of the region with the Sanctuary of Heraion in Perachora, an idyllic seaside sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Hera, protector of marriage. The serene environment, combined with the natural beauty of the Blue Lake of Vouliagmenis, offers panoramic views and bathing in the sparkling waters, in an atmosphere both mystic and soothing.
