Tour Plan :

Depart from the port and drive through the modern city of Corinthos up to Ancient Corinth. You will make a stop at the Corinth Canal in order to take pictures. Continuing this wonderful excursion, you will visit Ancient Corinth. View the impressive Acrocorinth fortifications from a distance. Leave your coach for a guided walking tour through the ruins which are mainly Roman. The Doric Temple of Apollo stands on a knoll to the north of the agora. Visit the Archeological Museum; see the mosaic floors, Mycenaean and Corinthian pottery. Corinth made beautiful pottery, all decorated without any paint! Instead, a watery clay mixture was used. When the pot was baked in a kiln, the areas painted with clay mixture turned black. Unpainted areas turned a light brown or reddish brown colour, depending on the type of clay. For 200 years, the Corinthians sold their pottery all over the Greek world, and Corinth became a wealthy and busy trading centre. You will also admire many other interesting objects before returning to the coach which will take you to the ship.
