What To Expect
Corinth Canal
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. 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, making it impassable for most modern ships. Nowadays it has little economic importance and is mainly a tourist attraction.
Sparta
Sparta was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece.In antiquity, the city-state was known as Lacedaemon, while the name Sparta referred to its main settlement on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese.Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.Given its military pre-eminence, Sparta was recognized as the leading force of the unified Greek military during the Greco-Persian Wars, in rivalry with the rising naval power of Athens.Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War (between 431 and 404 BC),from which it emerged victorious.

Super great tour

5.00Great, informative tour with an excellent, funny guide. This was at then end of our European tour, Dimitris was a perfect guide. He laid out our itinerary based on the weather and our interests, picked fantastic lunch places ( the best meal of our entire trip), and was generally helpful, even with scheduling things outside of our tour. Loved all of it, and will hire them again when we come back for a multi day tour as soon as possible! I sound over the top, but he was great!

5.00We as a family had an awesome time while we were touring. Our Tour Guide was really good. Showed us around and kept us engaged while providing details about the places we visited. He went out of his way to buy a local sweet which we only mentioned to him only once. Attention to details was the plus point👍🏻
