What To Expect

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal is a narrow, man-made waterway in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Completed in 1893, it cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. The canal is about 6.4 kilometers long and only 21 meters wide at its base, making it too narrow for modern large ships. Despite this, it remains an important historical and tourist site, offering a stunning view of steep rock walls and serving as a symbol of engineering ambition in ancient and modern times. We will make a 30-minute stop for you to enjoy the stunning view and take photos from the bridge over the Corinth Canal.

The Diolkos

The ancient Diolkos of Corinth was a paved trackway that enabled ships to be transported overland across the Isthmus of Corinth. Built in the 6th century BCE, it connected the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Gulf, allowing faster and safer passage between the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The Diolkos functioned as a kind of stone "railway," using wheeled platforms to move ships. It was a remarkable feat of ancient engineering and played a key role in commerce and military strategy in antiquity. Today, its remains highlight the ingenuity of ancient Greek infrastructure. We will make a short stop here for approximately 30 minutes, giving you the opportunity to visit the section of the ancient Diolkos in Corinth, as well as the unique submersible bridge at the entrance of the Corinth Canal.

Very quick and clear response to our email enquiries. They provided us good suggestions and timing for each area with regards to the visit. Kostas and his colleague who drove us were very professional, on time, knowledgeable about Corinth and drove safely. We highly recommend Korinthos taxi agency to anyone who needs a good and reliable chauffeur service! Thank you Kostas and team!

Our driver met us at the train station. There is so much to see in the area. he took us to the Corinth Canal, the temple of Apollo and so many others things. It was great to have someone that knew how to get around and see everything. He wasn’t a guide but he explained a lot of things,
Great Guide and Taxi

Excellent service. As soon as we left another city, we let them know we were going, and they immediately found us a driver the same day. Even though we arrived a little early, the driver arrived early so we wouldn't have to wait too long.
Beautiful discoveries!

Firstly our taxi driver was so kind, courteous,friendly and even gave us some history knowledge on his country. The climb up to the fort was fun and had amazing views. (Note to self to bring better shoes as it was quite slippery). The museum and archaeological site was very interesting and beautiful surroundings. What blew us both away however, was the amazing current canal which was truly breathtaking. All in all definitely worth going
