The first stop of the itinerary, the Corinth Canal, is bound to be a double surprise for the eyes and the soul. This engineering masterpiece, completed in 1893, embodies the outstanding engineering technology of the 1890s, closely connecting the Peloponnese peninsula with mainland Greece, cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and bridging the barrier between two seas. Standing on the edge and looking down, the steep cliffs rise as if carved by a knife, with the blue‑green waters running through. The majestic grandeur strikes straight to the heart. Every visitor will be deeply impressed by this engineering wisdom that transcends eras, leaving an indelible impression.

Leaving the canal, step into the thousand‑year history of ancient Corinth. This once‑thriving ancient city was one of the most influential city‑states of ancient Greece, inhabited since the Neolithic period and an important hub for maritime trade. Walking through it, every inch of ground beneath your feet holds the glory of the past. Amid the ruins, you can still glimpse the bustling scenes of temples and shops that once stood tall, immersing yourself in the former splendour of this ancient city.

Wander through the iconic landmarks of ancient Corinth—every ruin is a treasure of Greece's past. Here, not only will you find archaeological wonders, but also rich historical stories waiting to be explored—St Paul once stayed here preaching for as long as a year and a half, sowing the seeds of faith and witnessing the flourishing of early Christianity, bringing history and faith together on this land. Professional guides accompany you throughout, telling the story of the ancient city's rise, fall and rebirth, unveiling the untold legends behind the ruins.

The lively and warm atmosphere of the large group tour adds even more joy to the journey. No need to worry about tickets or itinerary planning—enjoy a worry‑free experience from start to finish. Admire engineering marvels and uncover the ancient city's secrets together with fellow travellers from all over. Departing from Athens, spend half a day tracing the footprints of ancient Corinth, reading history among archaeological wonders, and being moved by the camaraderie of the group—embark on an ancient Greek cultural journey that is both awe‑inspiring and heart‑warming!
