About this excursion
Trade the city crowds for one of Greece's great ancient cities, in just half a day. Your English-speaking driver picks you up from your hotel, apartment or Piraeus cruise port in a private, air-conditioned Mercedes and follows the scenic coastal road west to the Corinth Canal, where sheer rock walls drop to the water between the Aegean and Ionian seas.
A short drive through country villages brings you to Ancient Corinth, once one of the richest cities in Greece and the place where Saint Paul lived and preached for about two years. Explore the ruins and see the 6th-century BC Temple of Apollo, then drive up towards Acrocorinth for a sweeping view over the Gulf of Corinth.
Before heading back, you can stop for lunch at a local taverna. Drivers can't guide inside archaeological sites, but they share plenty of stories along the way. Private, flexible and easy to fit around your ship's schedule.
