The marvelous man-made Corinth canal connecting the Aegean and Ionian seas, as well as the Peloponnese peninsula with the central part of Greece. More than 2500 workers digging 6.400m for twelve years (from 1881 to 1893). Stop for photography, walk across on a pedestrian bridge and admire the canal from 80 m high
Sparta
Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution introduced by the almost mythical figure of Lycurgus. He configured the entire society in order to maximize military proficiency at all costs, focusing all social institutions on military training and physical development. Its inhabitants were classified as Spartiates (Spartan citizens with full rights), mothakes (non-Spartan free men raised as Spartans), perioikoi (free residents engaged in commerce), and helots (state-owned serfs, enslaved non-Spartan local population). Sparta Archaeological Museum is closed every Tuesday.

A guided magical time at Sparta and Corinth

5.00We had an amazing experience visiting ancient Sparta and Corinth. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and graciously answered all our questions. Along the way we stopped off for some Greek coffee which was fun and refreshing. He led us to everything we could want to see in Sparta. He picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel. It was a great experience. This is the only way to do tours in Greece!
Excellent experience to see some of Greeks ancient past particularly if you are into military history and the film 300!

Take the tour ask for Christos
RoanapurCPA,Jul 20, 2025

5.00The tour covers the highlights of Sparta and Corinth. Greece is covered in ancient history so you'll get a bit of perspective and a bit of front door service. In a land of steep hills and summer heat both of those things are godsends. Christos was our driver. I highly suggest you ask for him directly. A fountain of knowledge, he knew the details on every single question that we asked and offered suggestions on many things that we didn't think of. Many drivers just drop you off but not Christos, whenever we arrived at a new site we felt prepared and could enjoy it more with a deeper understanding. If you're like me and read the textbooks but don't have the skill to tell one piece of marble from the next he was the bridge that helped us understand what we were looking at. I feel like I've seen Greece not just been there. At the end of my trip I asked for him again for my airport transfer and he even showed up early because he knew I was nervous about being late for my flight. The world needs more little bits of kindness like Christos. We feel fortunate to have met him.
Nikolas was fantastic and the trip was so memorable

5.00Nickolas was fantastic! He was thorough in his knowledge as we asked a lot of questions. He was also super patient with us when we got lost on directions at times. Even though some of the museums were closed on Tuesday, he went out of his way to show us a local Olive oil shop in Athens as we were hoping to get some. Very much appreciate his attention to detail
Sparta in-depth and Corinth “extras”
382careyk,May 20, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was an extra trip for us just to see Sparta, so we requested and met with a licensed guide in Sparta and really got a lot out of that experience. Our driver was Christos who did an excellent job of making sure the trip was everything it could be. He provided informative videos of both Sparta and Corinth on the way to each site, made sure we were comfortable with having cold water on hand and clean bathroom stops along the trip, set us up with a lunch site with an amazing view of Cointh. We asked to skip the olive oil tasting which led to an awesome suggestion by Christos to visit the Acrocorinth and he squeezed in a stop to see the Diolkos. Christos reached out to us to confirm time and location, came to greet us at the pick up, came prepared with videos and reading material, and cold water. Sparta and Corinth could each use a licensed guide to really maximize the history lesson, for two different reasons. For Sparta, it’s for what is being found, the various stages during its history, while not a whole lot has been excavated to see. For Corinth, it would be to get a better understanding of how all the ruins were timed in the history.. lots to see.
A Day in Sparta and Ancient Corinth.
