This was a perfect half day adventure to Ancient Corinth. We had only 6 people in the van which was a great, small size. The van was comfortable and new. Soltiris was our driver. He was punctual, kind, and knowledgeable. He gave us so much history about Greece and told us about the language, culture, and food the whole time. He started by picking us up right on time. He gave us each a bottle of water, and engaged with us as we drove to Corinth which took about an hour. We went to the Corinth Canal first. We spent a few minutes taking pictures and going to the restroom at the mini mart. Then we went to AkroCorinth at the top of the mountain which had amazing views and rich history, and we went to the Corinth Museum after that. They offer a free audio tour on the app, and they have WiFi. We spent about an hour and a half there, but we could have spent much more time exploring the ruins, especially with the significance to Christians. Then we went to Loukatris (seaside town) for lunch (you get 1 hr 15 min on your own), and you could swim at the beach if you wanted. We returned to Athens right on time. We were with Soltiris from 8am-2:30pm. We highly recommended this tour!! The trip and driver were great, we got a lot of information, and always felt safe and comfortable.

We had a fantastic time with Sotiris, he was an excelent tour guide/driver, very friendly and funny. He gave us lots of inside information about Greek history and Greek language in this half day trip. The places we visited were amazing and we finished the trip eating a good gyros. ευχαριστώ/efcharistó/Thank you/Dankeschön/Gracias!

Our guide was friendly and conciencious, taking us to 4 stops full of interesting information and scenery. The middle ages fortress access is very steep and the pathway is slippery, but the views are spectacular. The Coronthian canal was impressive but VERY crowded. At Corinth the time at the ruins was informative, with many inscriptions and beautiful examples of Corinthian columns. It was easy to find the Bema where Paul preached to the Corinthians and was put on trial. The last stop was at the beach resort, which was beautiful. We had time for a quick swim and a quick meal but only because we planned it carefully. There was plenty of time at all the stops, in general.

We had an amazing time exploring Corinth on this tour, it was easily one of the highlights of our trip! Everything was perfectly organized by Sotiris from start to finish. The hotel pick-up was seamless and especially convenient since we were staying a bit outside the city center. It meant we didn’t have to stress about getting to a meeting point and could even enjoy a relaxed breakfast before heading out. The van was clean, modern, and very comfortable, which made the drive to Corinth really enjoyable. I also loved that the tour is designed for small groups, it created a much more personal and laid-back atmosphere. Unlike larger bus tours, we never felt rushed or like we were missing out on important details. Sotiris was a fantastic guide, he is approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic. He was always happy to answer our questions, not just about Corinth but about Greek history and culture in general. The itinerary itself felt unique and thoughtfully put together. We got to explore the ancient sites while also experiencing a more local, relaxed side of the area, especially at Loutraki Beach. It’s not something you see on many tours, and it really made the day feel special. I also really appreciated how accommodating the tour was for everyone in the group. Sotiris was especially patient and kind with my elderly mother, making sure she felt comfortable and never rushed. His knowledge of Corinth’s historical significance, particularly its connection to St. Paul along with Greek mythology and the archaeological sites, added so much depth to the experience. Overall, this is a perfect day trip for anyone interested in history or simply looking for a refreshing change of pace from the crowds in Athens. You really can’t go wrong choosing a tour with Sotiris.

The tour we went on was excellent. We were well informed of what we could expect to see and do. The driver and guide was friendly and punctual and we felt safe with him. It was a real bonus that we were collected at our apartment. We also liked that there was some flexibility which meant we felt relaxed and comfortable to take our time to see the sights. They were impressive. The highlight for us was the visit to the Acrocorinth. Well worth the effort. Through centuries of wear, the stones have become smooth and slippery, which adds to the charm of this fortress, but requires appropriate footwear. We would highly recommend Clio Travel and hope that we will have the opportunity to go on more of their well organised tours.
