描述
Discover the ancient city of Corinth and the Corinth Canal on a private tour from Athens. Visit an olive oil mill and learn about the production of extra virgin olive oil.
Combine the magnificent landscape of the Saronic Gulf and one of the major archaeological sites of Greece, Ancient Corinth, with a tour of an olive oil mill. See the Corinth Canal, the Temple of Apollo, and the Acrocorinth Castle, and learn everything about Greek extra virgin olive oil.
Begin with a drive along a coastal road. During the ride, see some Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis, where the historical naval battle took place between the Athenians and the Persians. Stop at the incredible Corinth Canal, which separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the rest of Greece and fuses the Saronic Gulf with the Corinthian Sea. Walk across a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal closer.
Continue to Ancient Corinth. Historically, the city was dominated by the hill of Acrocorinth, and the old Castle, the oldest and largest castle in southern Greece. The site located at the base of the hill includes the Roman Agora of Corinth, the Temple of God Apollo, and a small museum. In addition to its archaeological and historical interest, Ancient Corinth is also one of the most popular religious destinations in Greece. It was here that the Apostle Paul preached Christianity, was judged by the tribunal in the Agora, and established the best organized Christian church of the time.
Drive up to the imposing castle of Acrocorinth, which is known as the most impressive of the Acropolis of mainland Greece. Take some great photos of the Corinthian Gulf and feel amazed by this incredible castle.
Visit an Olive Mill. Uncover four generations of family tradition in extra virgin olive oil production. Visit the family’s first olive grove and get a guided tour at the facilities and presentation of the production line of extra virgin olive oil. Be amazed by the virtual reality video presentation. Wear the virtual reality mask to watch a video with all the stages of cultivation, production, and bottling of extra virgin olive oil.
Enjoy a presentation of Greek extra virgin olive oil (varieties, categories of olive oil, health benefits, and useful tips for the proper storage of extra virgin olive oil), ending your tour with a professional tasting experience. Walk in an old olive grove, see the olive press, watch a video about olives, and taste olives and olive oil. Finally, make your way back to Athens.
