A guided tour Ancient Corinth & Nafplio Tour

After the morning pick up from your central located hotel, begin from our terminal with a scenic drive to Corinth via Iera Odos (the Sacred Way). It was so called because it was the route taken by a procession celebrating the Eleusinian Mysteries, were initiations held every year for the cult of Demeter and Persephone based at Eleusis in ancient Greece.

Continue your drive along the coastal road and reach the Corinth canal, which merges the Aegean with the Ionian Sea (short stop for photos of the breathtaking view). Shortly thereafter, reach the ancient town of Corinth, where St. Paul lived and preached for two years (Acts 18:1-18). Visit the ruins of the ancient city where Paul worked with Aquila and Priscilla, see the remains of the first century shops, the Agora where Paul’s trial by Gallio took place, the Fountain of Peirene, and one of the most outstanding monuments of pre –Roman period, the temple of Apollo.

Continue to Nafplion, Greece’s first capital, where Venetian fortresses crown the hills and elegant neoclassical buildings line narrow, picturesque streets. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the seafront, soak in the coastal views, and experience the town’s romantic ambiance.

Return to Athens in late afternoon.

Tour starts at 08:30 and ends at approx 16:30.
