This one-day tour starts by traveling along the Saronic Gulf’s coastal road to the Corinth Canal. The Canal is a structure of great importance, as before it was built, ships sailing between the Aegean and Adriatic Seas had to circumnavigate the Peloponnese, adding about 185 nautical miles to their journey. The original idea for making the canal was conceived by Periander the tyrant of Corinth back in 602 B.C. and the one that finally started the project in 1830 was Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first governor of Greece. This was after the liberation from the Ottoman Turks, and finished in 1893 after several stops and restarts. If you want and dare, you can try bungee jumping off this historical canal wall.
Next, visit ancient Corinth where St. Paul spoke to the Corinthians. A historical place for both the Byzantines and the Ancient Greeks. After Corinth we will drive on to Mycenae to see the Lion’s Gate,
the Cyclopean Walls, the Royal Tombs, and the Museum. In the city of ancient Mycenae the most important civilization in Greece was born after the Minoan civilization was destroyed. You will also go inside the actual tomb of Agamemnon — the king of the Mycenae.
