About this activity
Explore one of ancient Greece's most powerful city-states in a compact 5-hour private tour from Athens. You'll discover impressive temple ruins, a strategic hilltop acropolis, and sweeping views of the Saronic Gulf—all without the crowds of a larger group excursion.
The half-day tour of Corinth is a great opportunity to combine the magnificent landscape of the Saronic Gulf and one of the major archaeological sites of Greece, Ancient Corinth in only five hours.
Highlights
- ✓Temple of Apollo and other classical structures among olive groves
- ✓Acrocorinth fortress with panoramic Gulf views
- ✓Museum artifacts including Roman mosaics and pottery
- ✓Scenic Saronic Gulf landscape framing the archaeological site
- ✓Private transport and personalised pacing from central Athens
Insider tips
- ★Arrive early morning to beat heat and tour groups; shade is limited on the upper acropolis
- ★Wear sturdy shoes—terrain is uneven with steep sections, especially climbing to Acrocorinth
- ★Bring plenty of water and sun protection; the site offers minimal facilities
- ★Ask your guide about the Roman period layers; many visitors focus only on classical ruins and miss rich later history
