• Saronic Gulf Islands - Departing from Athens, the journey heads west along the picturesque coastline of the Saronic Gulf, passing through the historic areas of Elefsis, Megara, Kineta, and more.
• Corinth Canal - Shortly thereafter, the tour arrives at the Corinth Canal, offering stunning views. A brief stop on the bridge, the canal’s highest point, provides a perfect photo opportunity.
• Kechries - Historically, Kenchreai was one of Corinth’s two ports. It facilitated eastern trade via the Saronic Gulf, while Lechaion on the Corinthian Gulf managed western trade routes to Italy and Europe. Located on the eastern side of the Isthmus of Corinth, Kenchreai was a strategic hub for ships from the east and overland traffic between central Greece and the Peloponnese. Christianity reached Kenchreai early, with the Apostle Paul visiting during his second missionary journey, as noted in Acts 18:18. Paul mentions Kenchreai and a woman named Phoebe in his letter to the Romans.

• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - The tour continues to Ancient Corinth, where visitors can explore the ancient site, including the ruins of significant structures like the Roman Agora (the famous Vema), the Temple of Apollo, and the museum.

The ticket includes access to the archaeological site and museum.

• Acrocorinth - The tour then ascends the hill to visit the Castle of Acrocorinth.
• Ιερός Καθεδρικός Ναός Αποστόλου Παύλου Κορίνθου - This impressive Greek Orthodox cathedral, the seat of the bishop of Modern Corinth, is dedicated to Saint Paul, who resided in ancient Corinth for four years.
• The Diolkos - The Diolkos provided a safer alternative to the perilous sea journey around the Peloponnese for ships traveling between the Ionian and Aegean Seas. The Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf offered more sheltered waters. The overland passage of the Isthmus, only 6.4 km (4.0 mi) wide at its narrowest, provided a shorter route to Athens for ships from the Ionian coast of Greece.

The Diolkos also served a commercial purpose in transporting goods. Although little is known about its success in boosting trade, its long maintenance suggests a positive impact. During wartime, the Diolkos may have been used to transport lighter ships overland.

• Loutraki - Enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters of Corinth. Optional lunch by the water featuring seafood.
