Experience Details*
Take in the once-great city of ancient Corinth and the modern marvel of the Corinth Canal.
Soak up scene-setting views of the dramatic Attica shoreline and the island-studded Saronic Gulf on your journey to Ancient Corinth. Once a wealthy city, during the days of St Paul it boasted a Forum bigger than the one in Rome. Explore its ruins and admire the fascinating relics unearthed here in the museum, then browse the nearby shops for souvenirs.
Standing on a bridge 200 feet above water, will you dare to look down? If you do, you’ll be treated to a spectacular view of the Corinth Canal. A true wonder of engineering, the waterway is four miles long, 75 feet wide and 26 feet deep.
