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.
15 minutesAncient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus (canal) of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta.
1 hourKapsia Cave
Visit the Chambers of Wonder of the Kapsia cave which is one of the 10 most impressive caves in Greece and ranks among the top 100 that have been deemed suitable for exploitation from a total of approximately 7500 nationwide.
1 hourCooperative Winery of Nemea
OPTIONAL: wine tasting and visit to one of the many wineries in the region of the tour. The Nemea area of the Peloponnese is the most famous wine area of Greece. Approximate cost of 12-15 EUR/person.
1 hourNemea

1 hourAgia Fotini Mantineias Church
OPTIONAL: A Paradoxical church at a great location opposite ancient Mantinia
30 minutesAncient Nemea
Positioted 31km southwest of Corinth, Ancient Nemea was once the venue for the biennial Nemean Games, held in honour of Zeus. Three original columns of the imposing 4th-century-BC Doric Temple of Zeus survive, and the on-site museum displays rich finds from the area. The stadium where the Games were held is nearby; once connected to the sanctuary by a sacred road, it plays host to the resurrected Games.
1 hourAcrocorinth
OPTIONAL: Acrocorinth, "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth. It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.
