About this activity
Explore three of Greece's most significant archaeological sites in a single private day trip: the engineering feat of the Corinth Canal, the ancient city of Corinth (once the wealthiest in Classical Greece), and the legendary palace complex of Mycenae. This curated journey connects Bronze Age mythology with Classical history, all arranged with dedicated private transport from 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.
Relive the expedition to Troy at Mycenae, the kingdom of Agamemnon and a World Heritage UNESCO Site.
Highlights
- ✓Witness the dramatic 79-metre-deep Isthmus Canal cutting through the narrow strip connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece
- ✓Walk through the fortified gates of Acrocorinth, the citadel that dominated the region, with sweeping panoramic views across the landscape
- ✓Explore the Temple of Apollo and ancient Agora ruins at Corinth, a major trading hub of Classical Greece and home to St. Paul's ministry
- ✓Visit Mycenae, legendary seat of King Agamemnon and the Bronze Age Mycenaean civilisation, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- ✓Private car ensures comfortable pacing and flexible stops for photography and deeper exploration
Insider tips
- ★Arrive at Mycenae early in the visit if possible; it's the most dramatic site and crowds build through the afternoon even on private tours
- ★The Corinth Canal viewing platform is brief but essential—allow time to absorb the scale before moving on
- ★Acrocorinth's fortress ruins reward wandering: explore beyond the main temple area for isolated viewpoints and fewer tourists
- ★Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip; Mycenae and Acrocorinth involve uneven, sometimes steep terrain
