    About the ride

    If you want to escape the city life of Athens for a while, and have limited time, then the half-day wine and Corinth Canal tour is the one for you. Your Welcomer will serve as your local guide who will share the historical facts, the necessary information about the sights and, of course, their personal input in order to immerse you into the Athenian lifestyle. 

    - Hotel pickup and dropoff from a professional English Speaking driver / local guide

    - 100% Customisable & Private

    On the morning of your tour, a friendly Welcome driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation in Athens and take you on a relaxing drive to the iconic 2Corinth Canal. Journey time is around 1 hour, and it will take you right along the glittering coastline of the Megara Gulf. Although every aspect of your tour can be changed and personalised, the following itinerary is one we suggest. You will begin your day 4km east of modern Corinth, at the Corinth Canal. This amazing man-made spectacle is 80 meters in depth, 6.3 km long and 23 meters wide, definitely, a site to remember. Head over to the submersible bridge, where you can marvel at the sheer size of the canal, and get some once in a lifetime photos. After an exhilarating morning peering over the edge of the canal, your driver will then take you into the city of the modern Corinth itself. This lovely little city is situated right on the waterfront and has countless cafes and restaurants scattered around the port.

    After your break in modern Corinth, you will then head to the historical center of this amazing city, Ancient Corinth. This is the place where St. Paul preached to the people in 51AD, an experience that lead him to write the First and Second Corinthians Epistles for the New Testament. Ancient Corinth was once the most important city in the classical world, and whilst walking through the Agora you can really start to see why. While in Ancient Corinth, you must pay a visit to the site's most important monument, the 3Temple of Apollo. Next, to the temple, you will have the chance to take a 4Pottery Workshop at Ancient Corinth and witness your self how ancient Corinthians made ceramic crafts with their bare hands and take a history lesson from experienced craft makers at Kylix Kylix shop. 

    After soaking up all the rich history of Ancient Corinth and the 5Acrocorinth Venetian Castle, you will then make your way to Nemea. Upon arriving at Nemea, you will see why it’s one of the most popular vineyards in the country. Take a tour underground to marvel at the wine cellars, containing over 1,000 French oak barrels. Your personal tour guide will show you the state-of-the-art facilities at Nemea and will explain all about the production of its delicious red wine. After your tour, you will have the opportunity to sample some of the famous Greek wine on a 6Wine Tasting and Workshop, while gazing out at the stunning views of the vineyard. Then we recommend enjoying an authentic Greek lunch by the sea in the seaside town of Lechaio after your driver's recommendations. 

    After this rewarding experience, you will head back to your Welcome car, and your driver will take you on a lazy afternoon drive back to your accommodation in Athens.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our day. Corinth, wine tasting and especially the dinner were fantastic. Well worth the time and money to take this tour.

    Yesterdays tour to Corinth canal was perfect. Yianni our tour guide and driver was so nice and friendly and very entertaining. There was just me and theio. We got picked up from the flat on time. He provided croissants for snacks and nice cold water throughout the trip. He played beautiful Greek music there and back. Car was so comfy and beautifully air conditioned. First stop was the canal, at each stop he said you will find me here, toilets over there, go do your thing, take your time. Second stop was Ancient Corinth site, same thing there, then he drove to a winery a lil further out from the other winery's, he said it was nicer and his favourite. He came through with us and sat with us during the tasting session. We had so much fun. We brought 2 bottles of wine. That was my first ever winery/tasting visit. We left there and drove to our lunch venue, a little Taverna right on the waters edge. Perfect spot, it was all very incredible loved every second of it

    It was a great tour! We started late morning from Athens and after a photostop in Corinth Canal we visited Ancient Corinth that was really fashinating! Then, we visited an estate called Palivou for some wine tasting which turned out to be great! We bought a few bottles of wine as well! Exploring the ancient site of Nemea with the amazing temple of Zeus and stadium was enjoyable. John drove us to a village called Agionori where we ate great village style food with wonderful views! So glad we booked this tour with Welcome.Nick is fluent with his English,very well educated when it comes to Greek history and drives at a comfortable speed! Thank you Nick for a wonderful afternoon!

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective.

If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

    Do I need to be in a good physical shape?

    The drivers are trained to adapt the experience depending on the type of participants. Whether you have kids or elders participating, the drivers know exactly how to handle special requests and provide an enjoyable experience accordingly.
