(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
PiraeusPass-by Only
Pick up from your cruise ship pier at Piraeus port. We will drive along the coastal road of Saronic Gulf to enjoy the Piraeus and Athens riviera. The Port of Piraeus is the chief seaport of Athens, Greece, located on the Saronic Gulf on the western coasts of the Aegean Sea. Piraeus port is the largest port in Greece, home to Europe's biggest passenger port, and as such is a huge draw for cruise ships from around the world bringing tourists eager to explore this centuries-old city, and one of the largest in Europe. But yet another major draw is the fact that it's easy to visit Athens because it's located nearby. The Greek capital city of Athens is just 12 kilometers or 7 miles from Piraeus port. We will drive directly to the Acropolis to admire the Temple of Democracy!
Athens
We will be traveling through Athens and its superbs till we will reach the famous Corinth canal, traveling along the picturesque coastal road of the Saronic golf!
Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal is a waterway that crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth to link the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. As such, it cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth the canal and separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, arguably making the peninsula an island. Dug through the isthmus at sea level, the canal is 6.4 kilometers long with a width of only 25 meters. The canal, though executed in the late 19th century, has been a 2000-year-old dream. Before its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea that wanted to cross to the Adriatic or anchor in Corinth had to circle the Peloponnese, an extra 185 nautical miles. It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), was the first to conceive of the idea of digging the Corinth Canal. As the project was too complicated given the limited technical capabilities of the times, Periander constructed the diolkós, a stone road that allowed ships to be transferred on wheeled platforms.
