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.

This was an excellent way...

5.00This was an excellent way to see the highlights of Corinth. Our guide took time to show us many areas, and to get out and take pictures. Both ends of the Corinth channel are amazing. The castle on the hill, and the ancient ruins of Corinth were amazing. I recommend this for someone who only has part of a day to see the area.
Corinth in a day

5.00We decided on a personal taxi tour of Corinth to give us the flexibility around the various sites. Our driver was excellent, spoke good English and gave us the base information we needed at each location. Added bonus on the way back to the train station was a small detour to the place where the Greeks/Romans used to drag their ships across the Isthmus

5.00We were picked up by a friendly taxi driver on time at the campsite. The vehicle large with plenty of space. The driver took us to all the sights and gave us some tips. Overall highly recommended, we booked right back for Athens.

5.00Friendly and reliable car service. Alex was there at train station waiting on my sister and myself with a beautiful and very comfortable, and spotlessly clean car. He was so kind and engaged in conversation that related to the area and the sites of Corinth we came to see. He waited patiently while we took our time at each of the sites, as well as while we ate in the village next to ancient Corinth. At the base of the Acrocorinth fortress by the parking lot, Alex directed us to a lovely cafe where we could grab a water, restroom break and we could have eaten there if we had been hungry. Thankful to Alex for showing us around.
Amazing and reliable experience

5.00Very 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!

5.00Excellent 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!
