The saying “Not everyone can sail to Corinth” originates from the reputation for power and luxury Corinth had in ancient times.

It is no coincidence that the culture that flourished at the time in the homeland of Periander produced the columns and temples of the Corinthian order with such geometrical precision and aesthetic sensibilities. The acropolis of Corinth, the Acrocorinth, which was dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, is visible from far away and from any direction you approach, filling you with awe at first sight, daring you to refuse its invitation to visit. History has left indelible marks throughout this location and a generous number of world class attractions await your attention. Magnificent asthe Diolkos of Corinthian Isthmus, the Peirene Fountain and the Temple of Apollo are, theyrepresent but the first round of numerous delights! At one end of the experience spectrum is an adrenaline-packed bungee-jump from the Isthmus; at the other is a serene getaway in the Corinthian highlands (Lake Doxa, Trikala, Pheneos), a different palette of coloursand emotions accompanying you in each one of the four seasons. The villages of the Gulf of Corinth, just a stone’s throw away from Athens, beckon you too for quick break from the pressures of city life. For an extra energy boost, the black Corinthian raisinwill prove more than worthy of its ‘super food’ epithet. For extra pleasure and divine taste, fill your glass with the Agiorgitiko red wine variety that thrives only here.
