What to expect?

Itinerary

Isthmus/Corinth Canal which separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland where you will appreciate the engineering and incredible views of the Corinthian and Saronic Gulfs.

Here you can enjoy a coffee or snack at a wonderful cafe while you admire the views and wait for boats to pass through the canal.

As we drive up the monolithic rock we will be captivated by the breathtaking views of both gulfs, the Isthmus canal, Gerania mountain and surrounding beauty (1883 ft/574 m). Being the home of Pegasus (the winged horse) you will also discover the temple of Aphrodite and the Upper Pirene spring.

Explore the incredible archaeological site of ancient Corinth with the fabulous museum, courtyard, the Temple of Apollo, the Fountain of Glauke, Sacred Spring, Peirene, Asklepieion, Odeion, Bema, Agora and much more.

After your shopping time, you will be driven to the port of Kechries tracing the footsteps of St. Paul to the East.

Epidaurus is one of the most popular archaeological sites in Greece and an UNESCO’S world heritage listed monument. It is the birthplace of Apollo's son Asklepios, who was a healer. Epidaurus was the most celebrated healing center of the ancient Greek world.

Epidaurus is famous for its magnificent amphitheater. This theatre was constructed in the late 4th century BC to host religious events to honor the god Asclepius. The theater is famous for its symmetry and it is also unique because of its excellent state of conservation, which allows it to be still in use. Another fact about this theater is the perfect acoustics. During summer, it hosts performances of ancient Greek drama.

Just a few steps from the Ancient Theatre is the Sanctuary of Asklepios , a very popular healing center in the ancient times. The Archaeological Museum hosts many interesting exhibits.
