About this activity
Journey to Ancient Corinth, one of classical Greece's wealthiest and most influential city-states, on a half-day private tour from Athens. Climb to the hilltop fortress of Acrocorinth for commanding views across the Isthmus and explore ruins spanning Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods.
Explore the historic riches of ancient Corinth, once among the most prosperous and celebrated cities in Greece. Venture up to the Acrocorinth, and be captivated by the stunning vistas that unfold before you. As you gaze upon these slopes, let your imagination wander through the myriad of historical narratives that have been crafted upon this hallowed ground.
Highlights

- ✓Temple of Apollo and other well-preserved classical structures
- ✓Strategic ancient port city that rivalled Athens for power and wealth
