What To Expect
Corinth Canal
Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece. The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Ancient Corinth was one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. It was this megalopolis where the Apostle Paul arrived, worked and established a prosperous church, and later on he wrote two of his epistles, which are now part of the New Testament. We will visit the ruins of the old city where St. Paul worked You will admire also the Temple of Apollo, that is one of the oldest temples in Greece dating back to the 6th century B.C.

Athens Limo is the Best

5.00I have know and used Dennis and his company Athens Limo Tours for 20 years and hands down the best limo and transfer company in Athens, Greece. Full fleet of limos, vans and mini buses. Competitive transfers from the airport to anywhere around Athens. Did did a city site tour which was great and day trip to Napfalo and Porta Cheli. Both trips were fantastic and the drivers speak great English, and are fun and engaging. Cannot recommend Athens Limo enough. Dennis we will see you next year. Alex VlC

5.00It’s my first time going to Athens and a dozen family and friends are with us. I had an extensive wish list of everything I wanted us see and wasn’t obvious if we could actually accomplish it. I absolutely credit the driver and the tour guide with the success of seeing multiple sites. What I hadn’t anticipated in planning, is that when the driver drops you off at a site, he can’t park anywhere and wait for you. While you are at any site, he has to drive around. So the tour guide played an essential role of communicating with the driver when and where to pick us up. We start at the Acropolis (do buy tickets in advance). We took a drive to Kaisariani Monastery and caught site of Hadrian’s Arch, Zappeion Garden and the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) on the way. I have to say, it was great to go from the Acropolis which is a mess of tourists to the Monastery, which was empty. We caught a site of the enormous magnitude of the size of Athens along the way as well as seeing a little of the countryside. On the drive back, we drove up to Lycabetus Hill. The guide had a great recommendation for lunch. The driver drove past some incredible contemporary murals on the sides of buildings. I would not have known how to even research that in advance. I only wish I had the opportunity to photograph them. We drove by the Tower of Winds and Hadrian’s Library. The tour guide was also a critical aspect of navigating through the sites. We were dropped off at Monastiraki Square, she navigated us through the Roman Forum of Athens, the Gate of Athena Archegetis, the Stoa of Attalos, and then to the Temple of Hephaestus. If I had to figure that out all of my own, it would have taken so much time and stress, it may not have happened. Also, at Monastiraki Square, my seventy-something mother was exhausted and decided to stay on the limo. When we rejoined them, my mother said “I had the best time!” Apparently, they had gone for ice cream and shopping, and negotiating with an under cover cop. This experience couldn’t have been better. We were happy to tip both the driver and guide 50 euros. Thank you Athens Limo for such an amazing experience!
Highly Recommended!

5.00A little nerves is always involved when travelling to a country you have never visit before. My girlfriend and I was taking a NCL Cruise and decided to spend 2 days in Athens before the cruise. We like to have everything pre-organized before we travel. Athens Limo was recommended to me by another company I had used in Italy last year. From the first email I sent inquiring about the service, my mind was set at ease with the timely response from Dionisis. Communication was very fast and clear. I quickly realized I was dealing with a professional team. Not knowing all there is to do despite hours of research, I was provided with a excursion package that fits exactly what I was looking for. I will admit I was nervous walking through the airport, but once we saw the Dionisis holding up the sign with my name it was all smiles...Its vacation time! Needless to say the service was excellent and way beyond my expectation. We were picked up from the airport, taken to our hotel where we dropped our luggage before we were taken to a dinner in the sky experience. The next morning we got picked up where we did all the more meaningful excursions. The Mercedes car was very clean and safe. My girlfriend is a germaphobia so when I say it was clean it was up to her standard. I would use them again if I ever visit Athens. Great service!

5.00We had a short amount of time and a great deal to see in Athens. We worked with Dionisis at Athens Limo and he was great. He was on time to meet us at the ship and knew exactly how to manage our day so we could see everything. I highly recommend his services. I wish we had more time as he was very personable and he would have been great to show us more places. 100% we will be with him on our next trip to Greece. THANK YOU Dionisis for making our memories last a life time.
