Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: The Monastery of Daphni, Athinon avenue, Athens Greece

After your morning pick up from your central located hotel, the bus will drive to Corinth via Iera Odos (the Sacred Way). It was so called because it was the route taken by a procession celebrating the Eleusinian Mysteries, were initiations held every year for the cult of Demeter and Persephone based at Eleusis in ancient Greece. Our first stop will be the Monastery of Daphni, a 11th-century Byzantine monastery listed as an World Heritage site together with Monasteries Hosios Loukas and Nea Moni of Chios. The interior of the church is decorated with superb mosaics, a unique, fine example of the Classical idealism of Middle Byzantine art. The crowded scenes of the mosaics narrate scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin. 

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Corinth Canal, Isthmia, Corinth 201 00 Greece

Driving along the coastal road, we reach Corinth canal, which merges the Aegean with the Ionian Sea (short stop for photos of the breathtaking view).

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos), Ancient Korinthos village, Corinth Greece

Shortly thereafter we reach the ancient town of Corinth, where St. Paul lived and preached for two years (Acts 18:1-18). Visit the ruins of the ancient city where Paul worked with Aquila and Priscilla, see the remains of the first century shops, the Agora where Paul’s trial by Gallio took place, the Fountain of Peirene, and one of the most outstanding monuments of pre–Roman period, the temple of Apollo.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Good tour for half a day. Tour guide Katia, very nice with lots of information and knowledge to share! : I think tour should be a bit cheaper though.

Great 6 hour roundtrip to Daphni Monastery and also Ancient Corinth. Very informative and lots of history packed in to it. Stop at Corinth canal was brief and restrooms were needed but gross in basement of cafe/tourist trap/gold mine.

We had an amazing time on this trip! Small, intimate group meant we got the most from our fantastic local guide. Great way to see a bit more of Greece, would highly recommend.
