About this activity

Experience three of Greece's most significant archaeological sites in a single day: the engineering marvel of the Corinth Canal, the hilltop fortress of Acrocorinth with sweeping Peloponnese views, and the acoustically perfect ancient theatre at Epidaurus. This private tour traces layers of Greek history from classical temples through Roman occupation to early Christian sites, ideal for those seeking depth beyond Athens.

Be amazed by the modern engineering masterpiece of the Corinth Canal (Isthmus Canal).

Explore the large citadel of Acrocorinth. Through its imposing entrance gates, you will enter the castle and you will discover its hidden gems. You will also experience the spectacular panoramic views which will amaze you.

Witness the ancient town of Corinth, one of the richest towns in Ancient Greece, where St. Paul lived and preached for two years. We will visit the ruins of the ancient city in which you can see the remains of the Agora and one of the most outstanding monuments of pre –Roman period, the temple of Apollo.

Trace the footsteps of St. Paul to the East at the port of Kechries.  

Be captivated by the excellent acoustics of the Epidaurus theater, one of the most popular archaeological sites in Greece and an UNESCO’S world heritage listed monument.

Highlights

  • Walk across the Isthmus Canal—a 19th-century engineering achievement connecting two seas
  • Explore Acrocorinth citadel with its Venetian and Ottoman fortifications and panoramic vistas
  • Visit the Temple of Apollo and Ancient Agora at Corinth, once a wealthy classical hub
  • Stand in the UNESCO-listed Theatre of Epidaurus, famous for its near-perfect acoustics
  • Follow the footsteps of St. Paul at Kechries port, an early Christian pilgrimage site
  • Private driver and personalised pace—no large group constraints

Insider tips

  • Bring a small stone or coin to test the theatre's acoustics yourself from the stage—the effect is genuinely striking
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes; Acrocorinth involves uphill paths on uneven terrain, especially rewarding in early morning before heat
  • Visit Epidaurus last in your itinerary; the theatre is best photographed in late afternoon light when shadows define the tiers

Good to know

  • 8-hour duration includes travel time; actual site exploration is approximately 4–5 hours
  • Private car pickup/drop-off from your Athens hotel included
  • Bring water, sun protection, and a hat—limited shade at archaeological sites
  • Acrocorinth involves steep climbing; not ideal for those with mobility issues
  • Sites are partially excavated open-air ruins; expect uneven surfaces and minimal facilities

Who it's for

History enthusiasts and archaeology buffs seeking contextual depthReligious pilgrims following early Christian heritagePhotography-focused travellers wanting varied vistas and Golden Age ruinsSmall groups or families preferring flexible, private pacing over large coach tours

Best time to visit

Visit between October and April for cooler temperatures and manageable crowds, or arrive early (8–9 a.m. start) in summer to beat midday heat. Afternoon light favours photography at Epidaurus theatre.
