Private 5-Hour Nafplion to Ancient Corinth Tour

Your private driver will meet you at the port in Nafplion for a scenic 1-hour drive through the Argolis valley, passing the citadel of Tiryns with its remarkable cyclopean walls, and glimpses of the ancient city of Argos.
The first stop is the Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel connecting the Ionian and Aegean Seas. Learn about its fascinating history, from Emperor Nero’s early attempt to its final construction in the late 19th century. Enjoy a short stop to walk on the bridge, take photos, and soak in the dramatic views of this narrow waterway.
A short drive brings you to Ancient Corinth, where your licensed guide will lead a private guided tour of the archaeological site. Highlights include the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Ancient Springs, the Agora, and the Bema, from where St. Paul preached during his 18-month stay. Learn about the city’s rich history, from Mycenaean times through the Roman period, and the legends of its inhabitants, including Sisyphus.
You’ll also explore the archaeological museum, which houses stunning examples of Corinthian pottery and artifacts, and enjoy sweeping views over the valley and the sea, demonstrating why Corinth was a strategic and cultural hub in antiquity.
At the end of the guided tour, enjoy free time for photos, exploration, or simply soaking in the historic atmosphere before returning to your vehicle for the drive back to Nafplion. You may also have the opportunity to stroll the old town before boarding your ship.
