Vetted for the 2026 season
Private tour 7h · Piraeus
Seven private hours are enough to put the Peloponnese and Athens into one port day. You drive from the Piraeus pier to the Corinth Canal for a stop of up to half an hour, then on to Ancient Corinth, where a licensed English-speaking guide walks you through the Temple of Apollo, the Agora and the Bema where the Apostle Paul addressed the Corinthians in 52 AD. The site entrance is included. The day closes with an hour of panoramic Athens — Syntagma, the Panathenaic Stadium, Hadrian's Arch — before the return to the pier.

The four-hour Corinth tour uses every minute it has. This one has room in it: the same site with the same licensed guide, plus the canal on the way out and an hour of Athens on the way back.
The cut through the isthmus is six kilometres long, twenty-four metres wide at the waterline and over fifty metres deep between sheer limestone walls. Ships pass through with metres to spare on either side. The stop is up to half an hour, from the bridge above it.
Your licensed guide takes an hour and a half to two hours on the site: the Doric columns of the Temple of Apollo, which stood two centuries before the Romans levelled and rebuilt the city; the Glauke Fountain cut into rock; the Agora with the Bema, where the Apostle Paul addressed the Corinthians in 52 AD as described in Acts 18; the Peirene Fountain; and the Roman fountain in the South Portico.
The return runs through the centre for a panoramic loop past Syntagma Square and the Parliament, the neoclassical trilogy of the Academy, University and National Library, the Panathenaic Stadium, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus beside Hadrian’s Arch.
This tour does not go up to the Acropolis — Athens here is seen from the vehicle. If the Acropolis is what you came for, our guided Acropolis tours from Piraeus include the site itself with tickets arranged in advance.
Seven hours pier to pier, and unlike the four-hour Corinth tour there is genuine slack in this one. The day is planned backwards from your ship’s departure; if traffic runs long, the panoramic hour shortens before anything else.
Ancient Corinth is an excavation with uneven ground and some walking, and it may be difficult for guests with mobility concerns. The canal stop and the Athens hour need no walking at all. Tell us when you enquire and we will be straight about what will work.
Meet your driver and licensed guide at the pier.

Yes — a stop of up to 30 minutes at the Corinth Canal on the way to Ancient Corinth, from the bridge above the cut.
The total is €1,014 for 2 guests (€507 each), €1,088 for 4 guests (€272 each) and €1,330 for a group of 10 (€133 each). The price includes the licensed guide for the full seven hours and the Ancient Corinth entrance ticket.

No. Athens is covered panoramically on this tour and the Acropolis is not entered. The 10-hour Corinth and Acropolis tour adds a guided visit to the Acropolis with the entrance ticket included, and our Acropolis-only tours cover the site on a shorter day.
Yes. Corinth is one of the stops on the Footsteps of Saint Paul route, and the site includes the Bema where Paul addressed the Corinthians in 52 AD, as described in Acts 18.
