Athens Trip Overview
One hour drive away from Athens, in the area of
Peloponnese you will be able to find the famous Corinth Canal. The Corinth
Canal is a canal that 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, thus effectively making the former
peninsula an island. After a brief Stop at the Canal we will continue towards
Mycenae, one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. You will see the
Mycenaean Acropolis, the tomb of Agamemnon and the ruins of the Cyclopean walls
that protected this mighty city.
