We will drive you & finally reach the ancient town of Corinth where Saint Paul lived and preached for two years. Back in the ancient times, Corinth was amongst the richest cities and this is quite evident by its remains, including the huge Agora (Market Place) and Apollo’s Temple (6th BC century). Our next stop will be the well-known Corinth Canal which connects the Ionian and Aegean seas in order to provide a short cut seems to date back to at least Roman times. This art of work is 4 miles long, 70 feet wide and has sloping sides, which reach 170 feet and the depth is at 26 feet. Its construction commenced in 1881.
At the foot of Mount Geraneia, built in the northern part of the Corinthian Gulf’s cove, lies Loutraki; a coastal town which is internationally known for its thermal springs!!! During the ΄50s, ΄60s and ΄70s it was a very popular vacation resort both for Greek and foreign visitors. The thermal springs of Loutraki were famous since Antiquity, when the city was called Thermai, in honour of Thermia Artemis. The region is also famous for its natural mineral waters.
Lunch will take place at a seaside traditional restaurant. Last but not least, you should know that we call it KERASMA, you may know it as a Free of Charge Service, but at the end of the day you will taste wonderful homemade dessert and a coffee of your choice at a unique café on our way back.
The time has come for our safe return back in Athens at your hotel.
