DOES THIS FIT MY LAYOVER?
Overview
A private run into the Peloponnese covering three sites that work well together. You start at the Corinth Canal, where the cliffs drop away to a shipping channel barely wider than the ships that use it, continue to the ruins of Ancient Corinth, and finish with the climb to the Acrocorinth fortress above it. You can also swap the last stop for something else, which is where most people customise the day.
Transport is private and air conditioned, door to door, with an English-speaking driver-guide, so the drive between stops is time to look out of the window rather than navigate.
Three ways to extend it
Wine tasting at Semeli Estate, from €165 per person, 6 hours total. The Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth, then a tasting at one of the region’s best-known wineries. Adults 18 and over only. Minimum tasting fee €25 per person, paid at the estate. Ancient Corinth entrance €15 per person, not included.
Olive-oil tasting at OLEOSOPHIA, from €156 per person, 6 hours total. The same Corinth core, finished at an olive garden with a guided tasting. Adults 18 and over only. Minimum tasting fee €70 per person, paid at the farm. Ancient Corinth entrance €15 per person, not included.
Mycenae and Nafplio, from €210 per person, 6 hours total. Skip Acrocorinth and carry on deeper into the Peloponnese instead. See the dedicated Mycenae and Nafplio tour.
Questions travellers ask
Can we do a tasting on a layover? Yes. Both tasting variants run 6 hours door to door, the same as the base trip, so you need an 8-hour layover.
Are the tastings suitable for kids? The tasting venues are 18+. With children, book the base Corinth trip or Mycenae and Nafplio.
What’s not included? Site entrance fees (Ancient Corinth is €15 per person) and the tasting fees listed above.
