Your tour starts from the Port of Piraeus (
the port of Athens) where your ship docks.
Suggesting time to start your private tour
in Athens is 9 am to avoid the morning
traffic.
While driving from Piraeus to Athens, you
will have a taste of the modern city and the
way of life. Your first stop is the
Acropolis.
The entrance to the Acropolis was a
monumental gateway called the Propylaea. To
the south of the entrance is the tiny Temple
of Athena Nike. A bronze statue of Athena,
sculpted by Phidias, originally stood at its
centre. At the centre of the Acropolis is
the Parthenon or Temple of Athena Parthenos
(Athena the Virgin). East of the entrance
and north of the Parthenon is the temple
known as the Erechtheum. South of the
platform that forms the top of the Acropolis
there are also the remains of an outdoor
theatre called Theatre of Dionysus. A few
hundred meters away, there is the now
partially reconstructed Theatre of Herodes
Atticus.
Most of the valuable ancient artifacts were
situated in the Acropolis Museum, which
resides on the south-east corner of the same
rock. An operation to move them for the 400
meters distance to the New Acropolis Museum
started on Sunday, 14 October 2007, and
continued for six weeks.
After finishing your visit to these unique
sites, your driving tour to the rest of
Athens begins, on which you will see the
Syntagma, Euzonous that are the traditional
dressed Presidential best soldiers that are
not allowed to speak or move until their
swift is over. You will also get to see the
Greek Parliament and the Olympic Stadium and
then we will return you to your cruise ship.
Corinth in antiquity it was a city-state, on
the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch
of land that joins the Peloponnesus to the
mainland of Greece. To the west of the
isthmus lies the Gulf of Corinth, to the
east lies the
Saronic Gulf. Corinth is about 78 kilometers
(48 mi) southwest of
Athens. The isthmus, which was in
ancient times traversed by hauling ships
over the rocky ridge on sledges, is now cut
by a canal.
Corinth is now the capital of the prefecture of
Corinthia. The city is surrounded by the
coastal townlets of (clockwise) Lechaio, Isthmia,
Kechries, and the inland townies of Examilia
and the archaeological site. Geophysically the
city is likewise surrounded by the narrow
coastal plain of Vocha, Corinthian Gulf, Corinth
Canal, Saronic Gulf, Oneia mountains, and the
monolithic rock of Acrocorinth where the
medieval acropolis was built.
The Corinth Canal is a
canal that connects the Gulf of
Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in
the Aegean Sea. It cuts through
the narrow Isthmus of Corinth
and separates the Peloponnesian
peninsula from the Greek
mainland and therefore
effectively making the former an
island. The canal is 6.3
kilometer in length and was
built between 1881 and 1893.
After we finish this wonderful
and very interesting private
tour we will return back to
your ship in Piraeus or to your
hotel in Athens.

shoes are recommended
