About this activity
A comprehensive 9-hour private tour exploring ancient Greece's most significant Corinthian landmarks, from the perfectly preserved Theatre of Epidaurus (a UNESCO World Heritage site) to the mythologically rich Temple of Hera and the engineering marvel of the Corinth Canal. Hosted in luxury Mercedes vehicles with knowledgeable English-speaking drivers, this journey traces both classical archaeology and biblical history through one of Greece's most culturally dense regions.
Tracing the footsteps of Saint Paul, paying tribute to the god of the sea Poseidon, the goddess Hera and appreciating the sun God Apollo we will discover and explore the Corinthian region together with one of the most popular archaeological sites in Greece and an UNESCO’S world heritage listed monument, the Epidaurus Amphitheater.
